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. 2 It is vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; For so He gives His beloved sleep. Do you ever find yourself constantly working, but you never seem to get ahead? Are you in school and the more you seem to study your grades still seem to be mediocre at best? Psalms 127 tells us that until we allow God to be the center of our lives and stop doing things in our own will, we will forever be in a constant battle to stay ahead. God speaks to us directly if we call Him. What you may think is the right way to accomplish your goals may not be what God wants you to do to succeed. The bible says, "In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path." This means not only coming to him with our problems but coming before him in counsel. If you open up your heart to God's word and His plan for your life;life becomes so much more easy. After, I completed my Bachelors degree I decided to get my Masters. I did not pray about this decision. It was just something I wanted to accomplish. I definitely did not seek God like I had when I made the decision to get my Bachelors degree.From the time I started, it seemed a struggle to stay focused. I was getting the work done, but barely passing my classes. I did not have the same tenacity I had while taking my courses for the Bachelors program. Finally, i made the decision to take a break. I felt like such a failure. Thats when I turned to God for comfort. His Spirit told me that was never his plan for me , but that was plan I had for myself. I even went against wise advice from family and friends because it was something I wanted to do. Learn to seek God in all areas of your life. God loves us and wants the best for us. It is up to us to come to him for revelation, wisdom, and understanding. When we learn to keep God first and allow him to do the steering; the roads become less bumpy.
