Sermon Quotes
Psalm 127
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.”
Proverbs 6:3
“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.”
James 4:13-15
“Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit’— 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.’”
2 Samuel 7:11-13
“The LORD will make you a house. … I will raise up your offspring after you … He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.”
Genesis 3:16-17
“In pain [anxious toil] you shall bring forth children. … In pain [anxious toil] you shall eat of it all the days of your life. … By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread.”
