Vain labour


Psalm 127:1-2 AMPC

Except the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it; except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. [2] It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of [anxious] toil-for He gives [blessings] to His beloved in sleep.


Ever feel like a hamster running around on a wheel... putting in much effort, but getting nowhere?


That's me at the moment.


After a sleepless night, the verse came to my mind:


"He gives His beloved sleep.."

.

Somehow I missed out on it...


God hasn't changed so it must be me then..


I need to calm down and slow down and let God build the house... I need to stop labouring in vain.


Because if God isn't in my work it will not prosper.


This is a call for godly wisdom.


Listen to the Holy Spirit and let Him guide.


1 Peter 5:7 AMPC

Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.


This beautiful song brought tears to my eyes and peace to my soul, hope it does to you too:
