Unless the LORD…
Psalm 127:1-2
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
Unless the LORD has directed your labors, your work will not be successful. It is important to ask God for direction in everything we do. If you have been working on something where everything keeps going wrong on that project, maybe it is time that you ask God to show you the correct way to go. Without God in everything we fail. It is that plain and simple. God has to be in charge of all your projects. If not, you are heading down the wrong path and away from God.
Are you having problems sleeping lately? Are you getting up early and staying up late trying to figure out where to turn next on that project you have been working on? Ask God what he wants you to do. Stop draining your physical resources by staying up worrying about things. When God is in control of your projects, you will never have to worry. He will cause things to fall into place for you. Maybe it is time you scrapped that project and headed in the right direction…back towards God!
Remember, unless the LORD is directing your steps – there is NO success!
