"Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain" (Psalm 127:1). "There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD" (Proverbs 21:30,31). "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see… One thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her" (Luke 10:23,42).
We build and
battle all in vain
Unless we recognize
our need
To trust the
Lord who will sustain
All those who by
His grace succeed.
Apart from
Christ we neither build
Nor triumph for
eternity.
In Christ our deepest
needs are filled,
And by His truth
we are made free.
How blest are
eyes that see these things
And ears that
hear what we have heard
In counsel that
He daily brings
So needful for
us in His Word!
O Lord, how
needful and how near
You are to us
who trust in You,
As daily we
delight to hear
What You have
done and yet will do.
