"A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain who build. Unless the LORD guard the city, in vain does the guard keep watch. It is vain for you to rise early and put off your rest at night, To eat bread earned by hard toil— all this God gives to his beloved in sleep." Psalms 127:1-2
Psalms 127 - God First. Vain, what does it mean? Empty! How many vain attempts did I make in my lifetime? Lots of them for God wasn't in His rightful place. Did I build, yes, did it satisfy, no. It was my own vain efforts producing an empty result. When God is first and you have Him in His rightful place, your heart, there is joy, there is peace, there is contentment, it is God producing the results for it is your efforts and His results. God first, He guards the heart, once again that brings about joy, peace, contentment. You first and we all know what that brings, a hunger that can never be satisfied. Prayer is the beginning of understanding, put God first in your life, pray to Him, ask for His help and guidance.
What is God saying to me: Enjoy the stillness, the insight, this is where you gain vision and contentment for your life for it is I that is directing it and not you, a vain effort.
Dear Lord, Thank You for giving us Your Holy Spirit, He is always teaching and giving us insights for our lives. I have seen You at work these past days providing the food that feeds my soul and spirit. I thank You for ears to listen, a heart that is open and a spirit that is willing. Continue to build Father, continue to bless Father and bring us the fruits of everlasting life. Prayers for a friend celebrating his anniversary today Lord, bless him Father with Your gifts. Prayers for another recovering from Covid, bless him Father with Your gifts. Thank You for the peace when we are walking in union. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Divine Grace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
