PSALM 127 A song of ascents. Of Solomon.
Theme: Life without God is senseless. All of life's work--building a home, establishing a career, and raising a family--must have God as the foundation.

1 Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch 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 Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. 4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children 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 opponents in court.
Study Notes:
127:1 Families establish homes and watchmen guard cities, but both these activities are futile unless God is with them. A family without God can never experience the spiritual bond God brings to relationships. A city without God will crumble from evil and corruption on the inside. Don't make the mistake of leaving God out of your life--if you do, all of your accomplishments will be futile. Make God your highest priority and let him do the building.
127:2 God is not against human effort. Hard work honors God (Proverbs 31:10-29). But working to the exclusion of rest or to the neglect of family may be a cover-up for an inability to trust God to provide for our needs. We all need adequate rest and times of spiritual refreshment. On the other hand, this verse is not an excuse to be lazy (Proverbs 18:9). Be careful to maintain a balance: work while trusting God, and also rest while trusting him.
127:3-5 Too often children are seen as liabilities rather than as assets. But the Bible calls children "a heritage from the LORD," a reward. We can learn valuable lessons from their inquisitive minds and trusting spirits. Those who view children as a distraction or nuisance should instead see them as an opportunity to shape the future. We dare not treat children as an inconvenience when God values them so highly.
Many of us are starting new work or a new phase of activity in our lives--some forced into the change. This morning I am praying for all of us in that condition that we take God with us everywhere we go and in all we do. We need his guidance and protection, and he is the true provider. Let our work and our lives be glorifying God as he intends for us.
Almighty Source of Good, Lord God, thank you for your presence in our lives. Let us recognize and glorify you. As we care for and protect the children that you value, and others and ourselves, keep us on the firm foundation of your love. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Have a blessed day.
Life is not life without the giver of life.
Absolutely. I praise God that I wake up everyday knowing he is the true creator and without him we are truly nothing.
King James Bible I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Raise up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.
I'll pray for you The teen years are not for the faint of heart. My three were all teenagers at the same time. We all survived, but it was no picnic.
Amen
Go to Standing For Truth yt if you want the most up to date science onf why evotardism is already debunked evolutionists are on the run freaking out because every day science is revealing God more and more. Its not the opposite, its not like the more time goes on and the more we learn the more God goes away its the opposite its just the culture you are in has lied to you so thoroughly thats what you believe but trust me if you love what is true you will see theism is much more rational than assuming rocks made DNA by chance and that the universe created itself by nothing for no reason when nothing exploded.
Now, if you want proof God is the God of the Bible? I advise you to look into Gary Habermas and his books on the resurrection he makes a case with evidence that cannot be refuted proving iwth high levels of certyainty Jesus died and rose again on the third day. Even atheist critics have personally told him that but they are unwilling to believe because they dont want to believe despite there being not only a case but a solid one. God will not force you to believe but I guarantee you cannot argue against his existence or even the resurrection which is why liberal critics have all shot each other down trying to do just that. They all came to the table thinking they had the right answers to explain the evidence we have and ended up all taking each other out leaving the true evidence unscathed.
Watch this but promise me youll go to Standing For Truth youtube thats where I send people now its amazing fellowship and on the cutting edge of Christiand apologetics. Trust me when I say they cannot explain away God which is why they try to censor the information. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSG5okmUr8

If you want proof just do as God says and speak in tongues. Its the senses proof of the indwelling gift of holy spirit.
How many hours do you spend observing wolves in the wild?
I am a creature sent here on a mission. Molded of this dust I stand upon. Out of nothing is something. Out of chaos is order. Random and destined. The hand of God. Thy hand. Creates my infinity. For me.
Amen.
There is no such thing "life without GOD" The Christ light IS whether you understand it or not. You either flow with it or flow against it. Reading a "spell" from a book does not make you closer to GOD. You are "the temple" and "heaven is within you". "Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven". You will not find it in a book of "spells". (Especially one written by paid lackeys, compiled and then approved by "Summus Pontifex" Constantine the Great) Just my 'word for the day".
Although I sense your comment is meant as a rebuke, I find that the Bible in combination with prayer and conversation with God brings me closer to TRUTH, not further away.
I first learned of the light of God within us from reading John 14 in the Bible. It was+is my research about the TRUTH of the Bible that keeps me reading it. I constantly read it understanding that repetition could lead to what seems to be doing "it" by rote --unless one is truly thinking about what it says and why.
Your caution to me is noted. I agree that God is the Creator+Sustainer of Life, that Jesus is the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life.
Never a "rebuke" as ALL is GOD/LOVE. Simply cautioning the implied message of your title that God is found only in reading a book of "spells" (spelling- the use of words in creating intention/manifestation) that has been compiled and given to us to repetitively ponder, by the same earthly representatives who have always been attempting to control and torture and hold HUmans (Light Beings) as slaves. The Final chapter of the Great Awakening will be difficult for everyone, related to false religions and god (Includes the religion of Christianity). "All of what we have been told is a LIE" Means ALL.
