The Key to Success
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
What's your major? This is the first question we are asked as freshmen.There are so many choices to choose from and sometimes we aren't sure who we want to be or what we want to do when we grow up. All we know is that in order to be successful in life, we must go to college and get a degree in something.
But success isn't so much in having a degree, a lot of money or a big office. Success can be experienced when we find God's will for our lives. This passage reminds me of how unsuccessful life can be without God. He created us to depend on him for our needs, but being flawed and human we forget that until a tragedy happens or we come into misfortune. Lent is a time where we can learn not to take God's love in vain and to stop trying to do his job.
Corey Pope
Prayer: God, I come to you with reverence and in a spirit of apology. Help me to never forget that nothing I do can top what you can do for me. Amen.
