Let Him Build It
Today’s Scripture :
Psalm 127:1, NIV
“Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain.”
Today’s Word :
We know that only God can change some things, but too often we take action and try to force it, which only leads to greater frustration. The psalmist says that unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. How many of us are laboring in vain, constantly struggling, always trying to force things to happen, trying to change our spouse, or convince a coworker to like us, or harping on our kids to get back on course? We’re trying to control what we can’t control. We’re working harder than ever, but not seeing any improvement. Everything’s a burden. That’s laboring in vain. You don’t have to try to manipulate people or convince someone to be good to you. You don’t have to force doors to open. You don’t have to make your business grow, make yourself get well, pay someone back for doing you wrong, or prove to someone who you are. All that’s going to do is drain your energy, take your joy, and steal your creativity. God is saying, “Leave it alone. Let Me build it.”
Prayer For Today :
Thank You that You are in control, and my life and my situations are in Your hands. I’m going to stay in peace and trust You to work things out for the best. I believe You will build my house. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
