2 Chronicles 29 & 30, 2 Corinthians 1: 12-24, Psalm 127
Psalm 127: 1-2 (ESV)
“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 he gives to his beloved sleep.”
When I read verses 1 and 2 form Psalm 127, tears came to my
eyes. If I think back through my life of all the times when I wasn’t consulting
with the Holy Spirit about the decisions I needed to make, those times were full
of difficulty. I had success but the journey was full of misery and stress. The
times in my life where I prayed to Father-God for help in any decision I made
and followed the advice of the Holy Spirit, the journey was smoother and worked
out way better than I could ever imagine. I also noticed that any decision I
made in my life without the blessing of Father-God never quite worked, and I ended
up having to reverse course sometimes. I didn’t have the protection and blessings
of Father-God to protect the decision I made in my life.
We need the involvement and guidance of Father-God, Jesus
Christ, and the Holy Spirit in our efforts for our life to be blessed and protected.
We need to partner with Father-God to align our life and our goals with his
plan and purposes for our life and for the world. I know for myself partnering
with the Holy Spirit is a constant struggle for me because I like to think of
myself as a smart and independent person. But I am slowly learning that my life
works so much better and smoother if I consult with the Holy Spirit and pray
for blessings and protection from Father-God in the name of his son Jesus
Christ.
If you enjoyed reading my thoughts on these Bible verses,
and through your faith in Jesus Christ you want to feel like your efforts in
life are blessed and protected and not in vain, please pray this prayer out
loud:
Heavenly Father, I want to give you my Life. Forgive me of
all of my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart You raised Jesus
from the dead. I confess with my mouth Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now,
I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus. I am saved, I am forgiven, I am
clean, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! Do yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit filled, full
Gospel, Bible-based church where you can hear the words of Father-God preached
and experience signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
