"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."
Psalms 127:1
This is an interesting idea... basically, if the Lord is not involved, whatever we are trying to preserve or protect, or I'm guessing, accomplish, will be in vain. This might not always seem true in the short term, but it is definitely true long term. We can spend our whole lives on goals that are incompatible with the Lord's will, but in the end those goals will come to nothing. And on the other hand, our smallest efforts will be multiplied and blessed as we include the Lord and do his will.
Today, let's evaluate our priorities. Let's make sure that we are putting God not only first, but including him in everything that matters. As we do, our efforts will be blessed and none of it will be in vain. We'll be able to labor, and wake, and all else that we are working at, WITH God. That seems like a huge blessing and reward all by itself. :)
