Scripture
Psalms 127:1-2
Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep to those he loves.

Application
Do you ever wonder if God sits back and kind of giggles at us sometimes? Maybe He even rolls His eyes as He thinks, “Here they go again. Why don’t they just listen to me.” I can’t be the only one who tries to solve my own problem only to hear God say, “Are you done yet? Shall we try it my way now?” Doing things outside of God’s will and way is like trying to not get wet by running in between raindrops. It is all in vain. So, let’s stop and do it the right way. Grab your raincoat and let God’s blessings rain down on you.
Prayer
Lord thank you for loving me enough to always guide me. ~Amen
