“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.”

Psalms 127:1-2 ESV

All,

This stands out because this verse sets the perfect perspective to begin quiet time with God. It’s often difficult to have time with God because our minds are full of things we need to do or things that have happened. Whatever we are doing, if God isn’t in it, then we shouldn’t be, but if God is in it, shouldn’t we want His wisdom and understanding so we can do our best according to His purpose? Please pray that we and our friends “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matt 6:33). Please pray for wisdom and discernment for Rusty.
