Day 172 of 365

Let God Build It

“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) |

What This Means for You

You can work yourself to the bone, but if God is not the one building it, the labor is empty. This is not a call to stop working. It is a call to stop striving apart from Him. Invite Him into the building, and the work starts to carry meaning.

Try This Today

Look at the thing you are building right now, whether it is a career, a family, a ministry, or a project. Ask God: 'Am I building this with You, or am I building it for You to approve?' There is a difference.
