EXCEPT THE Lord builds the house,
they LABOR in VAIN who build it;
EXCEPT the Lord keeps the city,
the watchman WAKES BUT IN VAIN. [wakes up tired]
It is vain for you to rise up early, [get up at the crack of dawn]
to take rest late, [go to bed late or not at all]
to eat the bread of [anxious] toil—[can’t turn your mind off]
for HE GIVES [blessings] TO HIS BELOVED in SLEEP.

Pray the Word
Lord, how much sleep have I needlessly lost while I tried to figure out how to ‘build the house’ in my mind……….over & over & over again:( I ask that You give me the power to exercise control over my SELF to stop wasting my time by useless labor of the ‘flesh’ while I should be sleeping.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
