Psalm 127:1-2 English Standard Version
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.
2 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.
Psalm 127:1-2 NLT
Unless the Lord builds a house,
the work of the builders is wasted.
Unless the Lord protects a city,
guarding it with sentries will do no good.
2 It is useless for you to work so hard
from early morning until late at night,
anxiously working for food to eat;
for God gives rest to his loved ones.
Vanity is not productive. Long term.
Proverbs 16:4, “The Lord has made everything for his own purposes, even the wicked for a day of disaster.”
The story of Mary & Martha - Luke 10 - Jesus said, vs.42 “There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”
2 Samuel 6 - a man named Uzzah caught the ark of the covenant
God hides things from the proud, but reveals things to the humble.. That was a fact Jesus thanked God for in Matthew 11.
