Psalm 127
Recent posts have focused much on how God should be primary and today's reading reinforces that. We build and focus on many things in our lives and much of our focus is on things of this world and we must avoid focusing on this world over God.
Our jobs must be God glorifying, our spending must be God glorifying, our actions with our children must be God glorifying, etc. Our entire life must rest on God and focus on Him.
See also Matthew 7:24-27 (The Wise and Foolish Builders).
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Romans 12:1
We exist to glorify God.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an amazing God and I love You. I know You love me and will never leave or forsake me. Thank You Jesus! I am not worth such a God. I worry and I am easily distracted, placing things of this world above You. Please forgive me for such sin and help me turn from and overcome such sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. v1
