Psalm 127: 1-2
Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.
Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.
Lord-
This psalm has been on my radar lately. It is all about the vanity of doing something out of our strength. I think the reason I have been reading this over and over lately is because you are trying to have this sink in. Lord, I'm sorry that I often build myself, watch for things that I cannot see along, and am kept up with pointless worry or concerns. Sometimes I try to control my circumstances, when you really have other things in store for me.
Lord you are bigger than me and I thank you for that, even though at times I see my smallness as such a burden. Lord thank you for keeping me knit in your hand even if I try to stand at the edge to catch a glimpse of the other side (sometimes without me even knowing it).
Thank you.
In your name,
Amen
