Journeying with God through the Seasons of Life 8: Brilliant Building Practice - Psalm 127

We each desire that our lives be spent meaningfully. It frustrates us if it seems like our lives are pointless, if there's a season where we feel our wheels are spinning and we're not going anywhere but we're putting in a lot of effort. We desire to have focus and purpose, a meaningfulness. If there's ever a sense that we're doing something in vain, it frustrates us to the core of our being. The psalm I want to look at today mentions the word three times, "in vain". When we disconnect from God, the activities in our lives become in vain, pointless, going nowhere. If our lives are detached, if we're not seeking God, if we're not waiting upon Him, or in the case of many people here on the earth, if we don't acknowledge God or give thanks to God, the Psalmist says that those activities are in vain. I wanna talk about that here today. We're walking through these songs of ascents, 15 different songs about going up to worship. Here's Psalm 127.Extra reading: John 15:1-11Preacher: Bill Dyck
