In Psalms 127.1 it is said: “Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.” When the Bible refers to “who build it,” It mentions the family because the family is the institution that God came up with

For everything in our lives, we need the Lord`s blessing even if we work and receive our salaries if the Lord doesn`t build it, we don`t see the amount of money, and we get full of debts. Thus, we get into red condition.

We have to give everything in God`s hands because without the blessing of the Father; we won`t get anywhere. The Lord saves us from an evil man. The Word of God let it clear that it`s worthless doing anything if the Lord isn`t there for us even if guards watch because He is the One who saves us. “It is vain for you to rise early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; For so He gives His beloved sleep. ” Psalms 127:2. We need to ask for the blessing of the Lord for our work because our support comes from Him. He is the One who provides us with the strength to get out of bed; He is the One who helps us face challenges during the day time; He is the One who blesses our sleeping nights, and besides that, He keeps preparing the blessings for the following day. “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.” Psalms 127:3. God has to be in your home, God has to be in your marriage, in the relationship that you have with your husband or wife, and with your children has to have the blessing of the Lord because a family was set by God.
