Psalmone Who Approves My Everything

I was reading psalm 127 today and basically God reminded me 2 things:

1) Read His Word with the right attitude, with the right hard.
-Even in the midst of being busy, I should not rush through reading God's word nor succumb to my laziness and end up not reading His word. I have rather been too hasty in reading God's word and often find myself missing out things that He might have wanted to tell me.

2) God is my approver in all things that I do.

In verse 1-2 of psalm 127, it says ‘Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to those he loves.'

Unless the Lord approves of the things you are doing, all your efforts will be in vain. I can be staying up late, working hard on my projects, but I must remember that God is the one who sustains and provide me with the results I desire, if not all my efforts will only be in vain.

This means keeping the fear of the Lord in my mind always and yes, there are times where I do forget to put God first in some things in my life. There are times where I do forget to spend time with God instead occupying myself with television programmes or even computer games. However occupied I may be, God has His unique way of reminding me through His word that without Him, everything that I do is in vain. But God is a great God, for even though we are nothing but dust, God is willing to invest His time in us and even has a special plan for us all.

Do I think about my future? Definitely, but I remember that my future is ultimately decided by God and I do not need to worry about it. Be it my career, my relationships or even the ministry I will be in, I want to trust God that He will give me what He thinks is best for me.

Live a life pleasing to God. Praise be to God for He is a God who cares for us…

On a side note, praise be to God for healing me from my bad flu. Though I’m not fully recovered, I want to thank God that I was even able to make it to school today. All the glory to Him for my steady recovery..
