Psalm 127:1-2 Unless the LORD builds a house the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the LORD protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones. (NLT)
Have you ever tried to untangle a really snarled up pile of string? The more you pull at it the tighter the knots become. That’s exactly what happens when we start trying to solve our own problems. We can work like crazy and get absolutely nowhere. We can do everything to land a good job and still fail to get the offer. Hear this word. “It’s useless to work so hard and so anxiously.”
The solution is simple — turn the whole thing over to God and receive His rest in return. Why waste another night fretting about something over which you have no control? When you get tangled up in your problems, be still. God wants us to let go so He can untangle the knots.
