A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. 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. 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.
Vanity, all is vanity, saith the Lord. All my fussing and toil is without results, without results that are real and of value in advancing the Kingdom unless I am laboring within the revealing light of Your Will and Word.
