IT’S WORTHLESS WITHOUT GOD
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… (Psalms 127:2 NLT)
I remember in my first years after arriving in the United States I was someone that was materialistic, I worked in two jobs and did jobs on the side.
I literally worked during the day and night with a few hours of sleep.
I did not understand this Bible verse yet. I did not know another way to try and make money other than “working hard”.
I did not know another form of being successful and living healthy,and that is working with “God’s blessing” in what you do.
We can work from a position of peace, instead of always living worried.
We can sleep in peace, instead of losing sleep, because God gives rest to his beloved.
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… (Psalms 127:2 NLT)
Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted… (Psalms 127:1 NLT)
THE KEY: That the Lord is in everything we do!
How joyful are those who fear the Lord— all who follow his ways! You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be! (Psalms 128:1-2 NLT)
Think about it:
Are you “working hard” to be successful or are you working with “the blessing of God”?
Are you working from a position of peace or have you been filled with worries?
Is God in everything you do?
