Today's Verse - Psalm 127:1 (KJV)

Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

—Psalm 127:1 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

"It's all up to you!" That's the prevailing mindset for high achievers in our world. But it is wrong. Our efforts to build and be a part of something great are ultimately in vain if the Lord doesn't bless them. They may flourish for a time under our intense efforts, but if the plans and the construction of great things is not from the Lord, they will not stand the test of time.

My Prayer...​

Almighty God and Eternal Father, forgive me for trying to make everything happen by my own efforts and relentless work. You can do far more to advance my work for your kingdom than all my worry and fretfulness could ever do. Please take the lead in every aspect of my life; defeat me in efforts not in harmony with your will and please empower those efforts which will bring you glory and others closer to your grace. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

The test always is to bow our knee to YOU and Your perfect timing dear Lord.

 

[Travis]

Before you do anything in this world, ask the Lord for blessings, for help and grace on whatever situation you are planning to do. Remember, whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God the Father.

 

[RevHouser]

Let us all build a house of the Lord in our hearts. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit. It takes hands to build a house but it takes a heart to build a home. May our heart love the Lord with everything we have and then the blessing of the Lord shall be with us.
