Doing the Work

Lectio Divina in Psalm 127

Silence: Steady plodding brings prosperity.

Meditation: Do the work.

Prayer: Prayer is the work of ministry.

Lectio: Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is useless.  (Psalm 127:1)

Contemplation: Is work, work when Someone else has done it for you already?

Oration: Nothing I do works unless God works beforehand:

  1. No salvation without Christ on the cross
  2. No marriage without God's provision
  3. No building without God's plan.
The work I'm called to do is not created but re-created.  I am called to follow God's renderings and recreate what has already been created.  The world says I'm supposed to create.  God says I'm supposed to recreate regularly: every 7th day.

Q: Is it work to be able to rest?
A: Yes, the hustle and bustle will not allow.

Incarnation: Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. (Exodus 20:8-12)
