God has not run out of mercy — not for you, not today.

Saturday, Feb 21 — Psalm 127 (five verses… and it swings a sledgehammer).

This is the line that ends the illusion of control:

“Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” Translation: Busy doesn’t equal blessed. Sweat isn’t the same as significance.

Psalm 127 confronts three things we keep trying to carry alone:

• Building: If God isn’t the Builder, your “success” is a sandcastle.
• Protecting: If God isn’t the Watchman, your anxiety is wasted effort.
• Providing: Stop eating the bread of anxious toil — God gives His beloved sleep.

And then it turns straight to the home: Children aren’t a burden — they’re a heritage. But an arrow isn’t dangerous on a table. An arrow is dangerous in the hand of a warrior. Parents: don’t just raise happy kids. Raise kids the enemy fears.

Today’s question is simple and piercing: Is the Lord building your life… or are you? Put God in it all — because if He’s not in it, no amount of work can make it matter.
