First Things First – Psalm 127:1

First Things First
Business Guidance Or Orientation Concept. Compass over Black Background
Psalm 127:1 – “Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.”

Setting goals and taking action is a great way for laying the groundwork for achieving success. This is applicable whether it is for a work or school project, home improvement endeavor, or developing a new skill. If we proceed in this manner, we may enjoy momentary success.

Today’s text warns us of what eventually happens if we fail to involve the LORD in our endeavors. We can become exhausted, discouraged, and/or frustrated if we are moving ahead relying only on our own energy, strength and abilities.

Achieving success requires that we do first things first. This means we need to pause and seek the LORD’s guidance before initiating our plans. In addition, we should regularly check in with Him until the work is completed. In doing so, we are acknowledging that apart from Him we can do nothing.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for all you provide us with so that we are able to move forward in our lives in a healthy and successful manner. Help us to never forget that without fully involving You in all that we do, we are laboring in vain. In the Sweet Name of Jesus, Amen.
