00:00:32.490 --> 00:00:36.170
Father, walk with us as we seal these songs of ascent in our hearts.
00:00:36.410 --> 00:00:39.450
Walk with us as you walked with Israel out of Egypt.
00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:44.810
May these words be a guiding light through the dark times and a pillar of hope when we arrive in the wilderness.
00:00:45.050 --> 00:00:46.570
We love you and we praise you.
00:00:46.730 --> 00:00:48.090
Bless you, Father.
00:00:49.210 --> 00:00:51.450
Today I'm reading Psalm one twenty seven.
00:00:52.570 --> 00:00:56.329
Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted.
00:00:56.570 --> 00:01:01.049
Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with the sentries will do no good.
00:01:01.370 --> 00:01:09.210
It's 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.
00:01:09.450 --> 00:01:11.609
Children are a gift from the Lord.
00:01:11.849 --> 00:01:13.289
They're a reward from him.
00:01:13.770 --> 00:01:17.210
Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior's hands.
00:01:17.450 --> 00:01:20.090
How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them?
00:01:20.409 --> 00:01:23.930
He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.
00:01:27.129 --> 00:01:30.090
Let the words of Psalm one hundred twenty seven rest in your heart.
00:01:34.730 --> 00:01:39.530
Psalm one hundred twenty seven reaffirms the perspective that our work is not the center of life.
00:01:39.849 --> 00:01:41.129
God's work is.
00:01:41.770 --> 00:01:44.650
Since the fall, humanity has lost itself in work.
00:01:45.050 --> 00:01:52.969
The great mission of sin is to twist the good, even just slightly, so that it misses the target, and it has done so with great effect on work.
00:01:53.210 --> 00:02:00.170
Many people throughout history have done immense work at the cost of their lives or even worse, the cost of innocent life.
00:02:00.490 --> 00:02:02.170
This is not God's work.
00:02:02.490 --> 00:02:05.289
God's work brings light back to the darkness.
00:02:05.770 --> 00:02:07.530
Work is not evil.
00:02:07.930 --> 00:02:14.969
Work can be a place where the sin we carry is enlarged and fed, or a place where our faith can be tested and deepened.
00:02:16.250 --> 00:02:18.409
Keep your eye on the true work.
00:02:18.969 --> 00:02:20.090
God's work.
