The LORD Watches The City
What about the benefits ? Many who live in America take note of the benefits . Others worry constantly about the benefits we seem to be losing . As a pilgrim just passing through I rejoice in the benefits granted me by my LORD and King .
Can they be lost ?
There is a lot to be learned from Psalms 127 . Understanding of this passage of scripture could certainly affect my quality of life .
Psalms 127
1.Unless the Lord builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.
2. In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.
3. Sons are a heritage from the Lord,
children a reward from him.
4. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are sons born in one's youth.
5. Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their enemies in the gate.
How blessed am I to have a LORD and King that grants me such great benefits !
