The Master Builder
Psalms 127 WEB 1 Unless Yahweh builds the house,
they who build it labor in vain.
Unless Yahweh watches over the city,
the watchman guards it in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
to stay up late,
eating the bread of toil,
for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
3 Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh.
The fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man,
so are the children of youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.
They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
As we continue our Lenten journey toward the resurrection, let’s take a moment to reflect upon this blessing. We see immediately that God is intertwined in each part of our daily living, and if we try to do anything apart from Him, our efforts are futile.
Yet, we are sometimes guilty of getting so caught up in our own lives that we forget to include the Almighty God in our plans. When we seek God first, there is a calm that settles over us that cannot be duplicated.
We are currently in the throes of a developing war in the Middle East. Yet, we can begin each day knowing that our God is in ultimate control. The key to finding peace is spending time with the Prince of Peace every day.
May we purpose to meet God early each day, asking for wisdom and then following His direction.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
