--Our Lord Is A Gentleman / He Waits to be Invited ~

---HE"S WAITING TO BE INVITED ~~~~~~~

---"Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain."
---[Psalm 127:1 / NIV] --

---This psalm is attributed to wise King Solomon. He also wrote the book of Ecclesiastes, where he warned, “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity” (1:1 NASB®). This kind of vanity is not looking into the mirror and admiring what you see; it is the vanity of something that is useless or meaningless because it was undertaken without God’s input and blessing. There is dignity and blessing in labor, but it is tempting to make a plan and expect God to bless it, instead of asking God to show us what He wants to do and how we can be a part of it. There is also a literal and practical application of this verse: I think we should specifically ask the Lord to watch over our houses and our cities so that His plans and purposes will be accomplished there. The Lord is waiting to be invited into our lives in these very specific ways, so don’t forget to make these simple requests of Him.

THINK ABOUT IT
Do you practice asking God’s opinion about the plans you want to make, the places you want to go, even the things you want to purchase? If not, begin to ask His opinion. It will delight Him to be invited into the discussion.

PRAYER
"Heavenly Father, forgive me for when I have charted my course without consulting You, then wanted Your blessing. Help me always invite You into the specifics of my life, and help me to hear and honor Your choices. Your opinion matters! In Jesus’ name, amen " .
Blessings,
