      Psalm 127 (Listen)

      Unless the Lord Builds the House

      127:1   Unless the LORD builds the house,
          those who build it labor in vain.
        Unless the LORD watches over the city,
          the watchman stays awake in vain.
      2   It is in vain that you rise up early
          and go late to rest,
        eating the bread of anxious toil;
          for he gives to his beloved sleep.
      3   Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
          the fruit of the womb a reward.
      4   Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
          are the children1 of one’s youth.
      5   Blessed is the man
          who fills his quiver with them!
        He shall not be put to shame
          when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.2

      You Can’t Work For Peace

      Because peace is a gift and not a product, you can’t work your way into it. However—you can receive it by grace.
