Building in Vain?

Today’s Insight in the Word-
Psalm 127:1 – In this day and age it seems that everyone is moving rapidly through life.  We are in the mindset to hurry-it-up.  It seems that most are squeezing in things in the few precious minutes they have and rarely take time to have a breath of fresh air.  However, it is crucial to make time for the ones we care about most.  In building a life we must have a strong and unmovable foundation or we are building in vain.  We must take time to put off things that do not last and make time for the things and the ones that do.  That being said, it is important that we not waste time on that…building a structure that lasts.  In order for this structure to last it must have a heavy foundation, deeply rooted in the earth, or we have watched and labored in vain…
Vs 1 – “Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain.  Unless the LORD watches over the city,  the guards stand watch in vain.”

Walking in the Word – I desire to build a foundation in my relationships that is deeply rooted in the Lord.  I want to exchange a self-centered life for that of a Christ-centered life.  I want to exchange selfishness with selflessness and become a pillar that can support me.  I want to be a guardian, protector, care-giver, and leader of my family.  I want to love others as Christ Jesus loves me.

Prayer Response to the Word – Father, I ask that You help me to build strong roots and a strong building for me and my family.  I ask that at the center of that building that You dwell in it and rule my life.  I ask that You give me wisdom and understanding when I lack and a heart for discernment among Your people.  I ask You Lord that You raise me up to be a leader among the people and that You empower me to do Your will.  I ask all of this that I may glorify You Lord, and I pray this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
