Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to those he loves.
Psalm 127:1-2
Doing for others is my favorite thing
But doing too much, and a crazy side it brings.
My calling and my thorn, may be one in the same,
But that’s why God placed REST, into my Life game.
I’m a Type 3, on the Ennegram Test,
Checklists and projects are me at my best.
God created my mind, in such a way,
That 1000 things to do, is easily accomplished in a day.
When I labor in vain, thinking only of self,
I labor until I cry, like Buddy the sad Elf.
But when I do the Lord’s work, even when I’m tired,
He gives me strength to succeed, like Shadrach in the Fire.
He wants us to work, and He wants us to Rest,
But Following His lead, is when we’ll do our Best.
He is the builder, we are just His helpers along the way,
So why do we step in front of Him, when instead He will give us strength and rest to Seize the Day.
