Unless

Unless the Lord… Psalm 127:1-22

My Take Aways

Something to Old

Unless the Lord (Yahweh) builds

  • Sleep is restless
  • Life is anxious.
  • Blessings are missed.

Something to New

1 Kings 4:20

I have to be careful not to be contented.

Something to Do

Let God build so I don’t labor in vain

Let God protect so I don’t wear myself out.

Let God work for me so I don’t work against myself

  1. Going way back in the archives for this one and PERFECTLY timed! Thank you for this… this is a lesson that God has been trying to teach me for a LONG time and one I keep fighting against. I’m always rushing, always busy, always exhausted. This life of trying to build and protect my own house has kept me from building relationships with God, family and friends.

    Question to ask myself: What’s important to God? It’s always relationship vs. work/busy-ness.

  2. Don’t you just love Psalm 127! Everything I need comes from God. I can do nothing on my own. All I need to know in order to live a fulfilled life is to commit all I am to the Lord. Summit my whole heart to the Lord and realize that everything I have comes from the Lord! What a comfort in knowing this. Unless my efforts are rooted in and directed by the Lord, they are a waste of time and energy. And that is exactly what I think Solomon is saying in Psalm 127. A wise man indeed!

    1. Lkennedy, I want to borrow your words….I want “my efforts to be rooted in and directed by the Lord!” Love that phrase!

  3. It may have been from the archives, but the message is still very current & appropriate! (Not to mention the lovely setting outdoors with the birds singing) I am wishing Wendy well. ??❤️?
    I’m afraid that as a young mom (and even sometimes now as a daughter caring for aging parents,) I often rushed and stressed over how much I had to do. Occasionally now however, I am able to find that real rest. It’s not just sleep, but authentic rest, a calmness of spirit, because I know God is in charge. Psalm 127 reminds me that my work is effective only when the Lord is leading. And then God restores me with rest because I am one of his beloved children.
