Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain. Psalm 127:1(NKJV)
Unless the Lord builds means unless the Lord endorses, supports, helps, and is involved in your plans and projects they can’t succeed. Now we can build or do whatever we want and it may even look like we succeeded but the scripture says if the Lord isn’t in it, we labor in vain. We can build a discipline, a health regimen, a relationship, a career, business or system of government from bottom to top but if it is without the Lord, if it is not founded on His Word and wisdom then we built it on shifting and sinking sand. So, when the rain, storms, and winds of life come and hit it falls and great is it’s fall. Matthew 7:24-27 Kingdoms, empires, civilizations, and governments have been built and brought down. But only the kingdom of God continues to stand and shall remain forever.Determine to live, walk, and build according to God’s way. Seek, listen to, and follow His guidance in everything you set to do. Rely on and trust Him in all your endeavors and pursuits.
