As the sun rises on another day, alarms sound waking up individuals to begin a new adventure. Pressed by hustle, bustle, and trying to get ahead in life, leaves many oblivious to a blessing right before their eyes. The greatest miracle on earth are the children that are procreated and conceived by woman.
Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. – Psalm 127:3-4
While the passage above is true, love, sex and relationships can’t be forced. Panicking due to a barren womb, Sarah tried to force the issue by sharing her maidservant with Abraham, her husband. This selfish act gave birth to Ishmael, the Father of Arab nations. This momentary lapse of judgment has haunted the nation of Israel ever since creating a clear and present danger for the Jewish faith.
Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. – Psalm 127:1
According to Solomon, churches and homes can’t be manufactured. Though each requires discipline, hard work and faith, the future of any heritage is dependent upon the Lord. Formulas, gadgets and technology may give a perception of success, yet in the end God will either bless or curse man-made efforts. Therefore, before you start your next adventure, project or task, follow the words of Deuteronomy 28:1-14 so you no longer ignore obvious blessings.
