Psalms 127:1 “Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.”‭‭

Are you attempting to live this life on your own, using your own knowledge, skills, and intellect? If so, you’re living this life in vain. 

There are actions we take and decisions we make. If God is not involved with those actions and decisions, a possibility of failure is on the horizon. We may miss an opportunity, increase the problems in our lives, and end up working harder. It magnifies the grace and mercy of God if we’re not consulting God in our decisions and everything still seems to be going well because legally, any decision without Him leads to death (Proverbs 14:12). 

This is just a quick reminder to include God in all of your decisions and experience the peace, joy, and favor that result from putting Him first.
