Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
Go ahead. Build your life. Build your salvation. Build your church. But it won't matter. Only God can give your life meaning. Only God can bring salvation. Only God can build His Church.
Go ahead. Guard your stuff. Make sure it is safe and that it will always be yours. But it won't matter. Everything you have will be gone one day. Or it will still be here, but you will be gone. Either way, it won't be yours any more.
If you trust God to build your life, and if you trust Him to give you all that He knows you need, you will have contentment. He satisfies completely.
