When my heart is aligned with His, I can rest peacefully–because I understand that the load rests on His shoulders…not my own.
=================
Scripture
Psalm 127:1-2
“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat–for he grants sleep to those he loves.
Observation
Hard work honors God…when it is performed under His direction. Without the guidance and leading of God, all the hard work and strategizing is ultimately in vain. When God is leading, He not only blesses the work to be fruitful–He also supplies rest.
Application
It’s easy to get caught up in the rat race of “do-go-work-hurry” when I take my eyes off of God. God-sized dreams and visions quickly become nightmares when I forget who is in control. When my heart is submitted to God and in tune with Him, He blesses the work that needs to be done. When my heart is aligned with His, I can rest peacefully–because I understand that the load rests on His shoulders…not my own.
Prayer
God, thank you for being the Lord of all. Help me to daily walk as you lead, instead of striving to merely accomplish my own plans. Teach me to walk daily in the rest that you give- trusting that you are faithful and you are big enough to handle any challenge that arises!
