Blessings in the Mighty Name of Yeshua Hamashiach!
Psalm 127:1 says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.”
This verse reveals the key to success in any endeavor and God’s absolute sovereignty over every person and event. In any activity, we need God’s blessing. All that we accomplish in life will be for naught if the Lord is not in it. We can “build,” and we can “watch,” but it is the Lord who gives success.
Trying to accomplish anything without God’s blessing, apart from His wisdom, is foolish. It leads to futility in the end and to the lament of Ecclesiastes 1:2: “Everything is meaningless.”
Psalm 127:1, with its condition that the Lord builds the house, contains both a warning and a promise. If you want success, align your personal plans with God’s plan for your life; when that happens, ultimate failure becomes impossible, and ultimate success is guaranteed.
Shalom
