Silly humans. We work day in and day out. Trying to get ahead. Trying to make money. Trying to buy all kinds of stuff. Trying to make our dreams come true. The problem is that if we are doing all this work outside of God’s will, we “labor in vain.” We “keep awake in vain.” When we try to “build the house” without God, we make a foolish mistake. Unless He is in the building, it’s not worth having.
And we pray:
Father, I don’t want to build anything in my life without You. If You aren’t in it, then my endeavors are worth nothing. Help me to remember to include You in all my choices. Without You, there is no success for me. With You, I have good success, Amen.
