Don't labour in vain
Psalm 127:1 (NIV)
Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.
This Psalm gives us all a good reminder to make sure that God is involved in what we are building in life lest, after spending our lives building something, we find out it was worthless and all in vain.
Each of us are building a number of things today: careers, families, ministries to name a few. The key to long-term success is to make sure that God is right in the centre of it all and that you are building with Him, not without Him.
How do we do that? We must take time to include Him in what we are doing. Think of Him as working with a business partner and consult Him concerning what you are going to give your life to build. Seek His wisdom and input and you will be amazed, when you do, the time you can save and the ditches you can avoid.
God wants you to succeed and prosper (Jeremiah 29:11) but He also wants to be involved, so include Him today, Champion, and make sure that plan to build or develop something is not just a good idea but also a God idea. The proverbs says we labour in vain when we do not build with Him, but the good news is when we acknowledge Him in all our ways and build with Him then what we build is strong and remains long term.
What a waste to spend your life building something and, at the end, you find out it was all in vain or for nothing. Don't do it, Champ, but let God be the architect and business partner to every blueprint that is in your heart. You will be glad you did.
Bless you,
Andy
