Psalms 127:1-2

Friends and readers,

 

Here is one of the greatest truths of all time, and it is written by King David himself when he was crying in the wilderness. In his bitter tears and mournful cries, this revelation of realization dawned upon him.

 

Psalms 127:1-2

If the LORD does not build the house,

the work of the builders is useless;

if the LORD does not protect the city,

it does no good for the sentries to stand guard.

2 It is useless to work so hard for a living,

getting up early and going to bed late.

For the LORD provides for those he loves,

while they are asleep.

 

How true, without the Lord, nothing can be done

Can the tree grow its vines without the branch?

 

Have we tried lately to finish up something but it can never be done?

Planning to write that song, but it can never be sung?

Planning and trying to run for that race but can never seem to enter its tracks?

Is it because you have not asked?

Or is it your own will and strength that comes from the flesh desires instead of the will of God?

Who knows the will of God?

Well, you sure won't if you don't have a relationship with him...

You will be as clueless and banging to open a door which is locked

Pressing the doorbell of an empty house, hoping for an answer

To suit your better own desires and fill those void empty feelings in your heart.

 

Enough with the self hatred and self pity

The Lord says to come out from that "pity party" that you are throwing

Step out in faith from those influences that are negative and brining you down.

It's time you seek him, for the word of promise says in Jeremiah 29:11 that

"God has a perfect plan for you"

Don't you want to know it? I encourage you...when you are at your lowest

And when you think you are serious enough....get to seeking him

Je wants you to find him!

 

Not in the noisy streets,

Nor the quiet mountain place,

Nor in streams of rushing water,

But at the bottom of your hearts cry

That is genuine,

Not from hatred and self loath,

Not from your pity party,

Certainly not from self desperation,

But from a true heart seeking the truth and light.

 

And He will throw you a party!

He will bring that party to you!

You will begin to meet all sorts of powerful people

That came from the same darkness you did but

Managed to persevere in faith and walked through it

Till they reached the light of salvation

They have exciting stories!

You will have one too!

Be excited, persevere and carry on your walk in faith

Seek him, and you shall find Him!

 

Matt 7:7 ""Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be opened to him who knocks."

 

Let us hold on to the word, the promise of God and TRY. That's the first step and it's good enough.

I tell you this, if you were to open the doors of your heart and stop talking and start listening with YOUR HEART, God is just waiting to rush in!

 

Be encouraged!
