127:1 It is useless, senseless to live without God. It is the will and hand of God that gives us life and gives quality to our lives:
Unless the Lord builds the house,They labor in vain who build it;Unless the Lord guards the city,The watchman stays awake in vain.
For we cannot go against God. We cannot create what He has not already created. A simple scientific fact: matter cannot be created or destroyed. It is our God who has the power that we cannot even fathom. In other words, unless God has sanctioned it and constructed it (any element or relationship or idea in life) it has no value, no security, no depth, no permanence, no significance.
127:2 We need not succumb to sorrowful desperation. Because God gives to His beloved sheep. He claims us and claims responsibility for us. He leads us, provides for us, protects us. Anxiety need not whittle away at us, for we are God's beloved.
127:3-5 God ensures that His children are fruitful; and God decides in what way and what type of fruit we produce. He will enable each of His committed children to prosper. We cannot do anything except prosper when we follow God. He will not allow us to be ashamed; for a life committed to God is a life with purpose, value and meaning. It is productive and fruitful. Protected. Prosperous.
