A
reminder for today
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. (Psalm 127:1)
As the week kicks off with a bang and I realise how much
work we have I just knew that this is a week where we will have to stand up and
face the winters of life. Too add on to all of this the flu virus seems to have
made himself quite nicely at home. When I read these verses today I thought
about my body and how it is struggling to defeat the flu virus. I know why,
it is because I just refuse to take a break and rest for a moment.
I am thinking of how we lose our battles because we
forget that prayer should be our first option before we go out and battle our
challenges. If we do not go before God with all our problems and seek His
guidance and direction, we might as well accept defeat. If God is not first in
every choice we make why do we go to Him when we have failed? It is like doing
something stupid and then seeking advice on how to do it right.
When we stand up after we have failed and we did not seek
God then we will fail again. If God does not build the house, you are wasting your
time with it. If it is not God’s plan and His will you might as well stop
trying. This is probably the biggest mistake we all do. Instead of asking God
for guidance and advice we tend to tell God what He must do so that we will
have our way. It is not about you or me, it is all about God and therefore I
put Him first in all I do and in all I am. I will praise His name when I am
victorious, and when I fall, because He is first. It is not about me, it is
all about Him and with Him I am victorious even in defeat.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
