Futility Apart from God
Psalm 127:1
‘Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labour in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.’
We desperately need God in our lives.
He makes all the difference and He makes everything worthwhile.
With Him, all we do has meaning and purpose.
Without Him, all we do is human effort and does not guarantee anything.
Let’s Pray…
Lord, I realise that I need You in my life. I don’t want to do things in my own strength and initiative. I don’t want to waste my time on futile things, but I want to be part of what You are building and watching over.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
Leaving the past behind
2 Corinthians 6:2b
‘Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.’
The present moment we live in is the most valuable moment of our lives.
The past is over and nothing can change what happened there.
The future is unknown and not guaranteed.
Today is yours, use it to make a difference and take advantage of the opportunity.
Let’s Pray…
Lord, thank You that each day You give me is a gift from Your hand. I don’t need to live in the past. I will trust You with my tomorrows and today I choose to make good use of the time You have given me.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
