"Unless the LORD builds a house,
the work of the builders is wasted.
Unless the LORD protects a city,
guarding it with sentries will do no good.
It is useless for you to work so hard
from early morning until late at night,
anxiously working for food to eat;
for God gives rest to his loved ones."
Do you regularly feel rested, at ease as you go through your day? Or are you anxiously trying to "make ends meet," "get caught up," and "keep all the balls in the air"? This verse suggests that if we're harried and hurried, perhaps we're doing things that we don't necessarily need to do. Only the things of God matter anyway. Today, claim God's rest. Pray about what he wants you to do, and do only that. Trust him, not your own anxious, toiling efforts, to provide for your needs..
