The Psalmist wrote, “Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.” (127:1) There is a very important truth attached to this verse. In our society we have two choices when it comes to building our homes:1)Let God build it or 2)we can do it ourselves.
Building a home without God is like building a house without a tape measure; you can be sure the end product will be nothing like what the blueprint demanded. Without God there is no guidance, direction or sense of purpose.
Even the most intelligent minds on earth functioning as one thinking unit are not enough to construct a home as God would have it. Solomon noted, “A man's steps are of the LORD; How then can a man understand his own way?” (Proverbs 20:24) Jeremiah added, “O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.” (10:23)
If you want a home that pleases God, let him guide you in building it. Look to His word.
