Success & Security is Rooted in Christ Jesus.

Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. Psalm 127:1-2

Success and Security are the two most essentials in the life of every person and every one aims and works hard to achieve it. We want success in every area of our life it starts with successful academic life, successful career, successful marriage, and successful social life and so on and so forth and security is another concern, security of health, finances, homes, belongings, protection of family.

As student we work hard almost the whole day to have a successful academic year and many a times complain that our efforts dint bear fruit, many others work hard day in and day out in their work places but at the end of the year feel dejected for their hard work has not borne fruits and no due recognition is received. Many among us are struggling to build a successful marriage and many more work hard in vain towards gaining favor of men.

Let’s take time to meditate on what the Word of God tells us in area of success in Psalms 127:1-2.

The psalmist says unless the lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain. We cannot have the best without the favor and intervention of our God. We cannot build our career, academic, marriage etc. sans the presence of God.  The above promise hold true for every area of our life and unless the Lord build our career, our family, our marriage our church we labor in vain. It’s important we work hard and with commitment but we cannot ignore the need of God’s divine intervention in every area of life. Before we start our day we need to seek the face of God, we need to call upon him, seek God’s grace and direction. If we try to achieve success without depending on God it may not always achieve it and if we do it will not be perfect and long lived success.

Similarly another major challenge we face is security or protection, irrespective of how much we try we can never be 100 % secure or safe. But the bible says unless the Lord watches over us all human efforts are in vain.We do everything in our ability to protect our homes and family from evil but many a times all efforts turn futile.This day let’s depend on our Lord and saviour for all that we are in need of, The bible assures us that God will perfect all things concerning us Psalms 138:8 (KJV). Jesus himself became the lamb and died on the cross; shed his blood for our protection. No evil force is greater than our God and his work on the cross.

We are fortunate because the bible gives us a key and assurance to sure success and security and that is nothing but our Lord and Savior Jesus.  Trust in Jesus, Seek his face, Hold on to Jesus as your refuge and strength and surely no evil of failure will touch you.

Our God neither sleeps nor are slumbers, his protecting eyes always upon us. Psalms: 121.

Trust in God for success and security. God Bless You.
