Day 32: Confidence in God

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.
It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
for^[a] he gives to his beloved sleep.

Psalm 127:1-2

There is a peace that truly passes all understanding.  When you have complete trust in God’s care you receive a healing peace.  This peace allows you to work reasonable hours and trust that God will supply all of your needs.  I’m not saying that there aren’t times when we have to work harder than the usual schedule.  But I do think it is important to note the negative effective a stress-filled life style has on our minds and bodies.

The writer of Psalm 127 points out that God is the ultimate insurance.  You can have security watching over your home or city but unless God protects it you will still have trouble.

I have lost confidence in many things.  But not in God.  Yehova is consistent.  I will trust Him with my belongings, my family, my career, and my desires.  And this peace will allow my mind and body to grow more healthy.

Today, I will brag on my protector.  He has never failed me.  Great is the Lord!
