“Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat – for he grants sleep to those he loves” (Ps 127:1-2).
Ever just find yourself struggling to be successful with something and not knowing why, no matter how much time and effort you’ve invested, it just doesn’t seem to be going anywhere?
Sometimes it may not just be the lack of effort but rather too much effort and not enough allowing room for God to just do what He does best and that includes, allowing Him in taking hold of what you are trying to build and grow it in a way that will rightfully serve Him, not us.
A powerful point was made in a devotional that I read when the devotional said,”How does one die so that Christ can be our all and all? It usually takes a crisis of significant proportions for most people to relinquish the control of their lives. It means we come to the end of ourselves and our striving to control the events in our lives and we finally come to the place where we can say, “Lord, I surrender. Please take full control of my life.[1. From "Prime Time with God" ]
Sometimes it takes realizing that the more we try to push the circle into where the square should go, not only the less results we get, but the more needless stress, we create.
It takes a little humility and acceptance that as much as we like to try to do things ourselves, like just wont’ get easier until we give a little ourselves and allow God to take control for us.
Share with us this Sunday, what this verse means to you and how God has taken over and help you in areas that you couldn’t accomplish without His guidance.
