Abide: Praying the PsalmsSample
PRAYING SCRIPTURE
Psalm 127:1–2
Solomon, the author of this psalm, said that it is futile to work without God. Men and women can work with passion and integrity, but if God does not sustain them, the outcomes will not last. Solomon wrote extensively on this topic in the Book of Ecclesiastes. He described humankind’s life on earth as “futile, like chasing the wind!” (Eccl 1:14). But all work offered to God is useful (1 Cor 15:58). Today, ask the Lord to speak to you about your work. Have you asked God to build with you?

Historically, the Psalms of Ascent were songs worshipers sang as they traveled to the temple or national festivals.
