Psalm 127 1 Unless the LORD builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the LORD protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. 2 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. 3 Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. 4 Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. 5 How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates. When I read this, it made me think of the things I’ve been doing if they are of worth in God’s eyes, is it of great value, of great importance. Here I am complaining that I don’t have enough time and yet if I really look at the things that I’ve done, and weigh them all, I may have wasted time on some of them because it’s pure worthless. In the same Chapter, it mentioned having a family, working hard, and rest. These are all important in God but everything needs to be centered on Him. It’s such a desire for my wife and I to have children. After reading this, it made me even more expectant of the blessing of having children. It’s compared to having arrows in a warrior’s hand and to have full of kids, it’s such a joy and won’t be put to shame. Lord, help me to really see things through Your eyes. There are so many times that I’ve been blinded by things of this world and got so pre-occupied. I’m sorry for being sidetracked. Help me get back on track on being mindful of my time, my family and my work. I desire that in all these things, You have the final say. Redeeming the time because the days are evil!
