Work with Wisdom

Read:  Psalm 127 / Proverbs 13 / Eccl. 7 /Mark 16

 

Psalm 127:1 ~ 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.

Proverbs 13:15 ~ Good understanding giveth favor: but the way of transgressors is hard.

Ecclesiastes 7:19 ~ Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.

Mark 16:15,20 ~ And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature…. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

 

There is a way to work in vain

And lose a lasting, true reward. 

The psalmist surely made this plain: 

We vainly work without the Lord. 

 

Such understanding guides behavior:

We work with wisdom and with might

When we are working with the Savior

And we are pleasing in His sight.
