“Unless the Lord builds the house, its builder’s labour in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.” (Psalm 127:1 NIV).
This passage draws our attention to the fact that human effort means nothing without God. It emphasizes the absolute dependence on God for success and security in all our endeavors. No matter how skillful or diligent, human efforts are futile without God’s blessing and involvement. God is sovereign over all aspects of human life. Hence, humans should rely on God’s strength and commit their plans and actions to Him, understanding that their ultimate success is in God’s hands
Are there areas in your life where you are relying too much on your own strength? Invite God into those areas and trust Him more fully. Before starting any project or task, seek God’s guidance and blessing. Acknowledge that without Him, your efforts are in vain. Prioritize prayer and dependence on God, recognizing that true growth and impact come from Him. Seek God and trust in His plan for your life, and be humble in your achievements, giving credit to Him for your successes.
