Psalm 127 (Listen)

Unless the Lord Builds the House

127:1   Unless the LORD builds the house,
    those who build it labor in vain.
  Unless the LORD watches over the city,
    the watchman stays awake in vain.
2   It is in vain that you rise up early
    and go late to rest,
  eating the bread of anxious toil;
    for he gives to his beloved sleep.
3   Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
    the fruit of the womb a reward.
4   Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
    are the children1 of one’s youth.
5   Blessed is the man
    who fills his quiver with them!
  He shall not be put to shame
    when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.2

Psalm - 127:5 Or They shall not be put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the gate

You Can’t Work For Peace

Because peace is a gift and not a product, you can’t work your way into it. However—you can receive it by grace.
