Whether we’re building something or protecting something, if the Lord is not driving it, if the Lord is not over it, if the Lord is not in it, we do it in vain. We should be building; we should be watching, but God leads the charge in creating, preserving, and parenting. Our working and watching shouldn’t be driven by anxious toil, but by the love of God. Hard work and rest do not have to be at odds with one another, but become enemies quickly when we approach either without an understanding of the love of God. God is already building and watching our kids because they are His gifts. They are His arrows in our hands, and they go far beyond where parents will go. So we must point our children at things that matter. - The parents' job is to teach and train and disciple their kids to be lovers and livers of the Gospel. 1. We need fathers who protect. 2. We need fathers who prepare. 3. We need fathers who pray. **The song "Psalm 127" is written and preformed by The Corner Room - all rights reserved.

In this message, Pastor Dan explores the implications of God's sovereignty in our achievements. Apart from God, our best efforts are temporary at best. But when the Lord is the motivation and driving force, our accomplishments will have eternal value.

Is your life full of blessings from the Lord, or are you pursuing emptiness?
