Psalm 127:1-3. “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stand gaurd in vain. 2. In vain you rise up early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat- for He grants sleep to those He loves.”
“Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain!!” Wow! does this speak to me today. Many, many times I try to build things, just to have them all end in a pile of rubbish. Jesus said, “Take my yoke upon you, my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” We are to take His yoke and go to work! His yoke is where our peace is. We can enjoy, His peace, even in our most difficult jobs. What ever we do, we are do it unto the Lord. Working longer hours won’t produce the fruit that working for the Lord will. Actually, if we skip sleep, to work more, it has a negative effect on our health and therefore our job performance. Honestly poor sleep health is responsible for many problems in our lives. Getting regular good quality sleep is one of my most difficult disciplines. It is one of the most beneficial disciplines we can have. Today, for our commitment to Christ centered health and wellness let’s have Our Lord build the house, protect our cities and grant us good sleep.
