'Unless the Lord Builds the House, the Builders Labor In Vain'
We all have areas where we would like to see growth and change. And we all have weaknesses just as we all have strengths. But if we're trying to change in our own strength, we're just going to have frustration.
Psalm 127:1 says, "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain" (NIV). This scripture is saying that it is not by our power, but by the grace of God through the work of His Holy Spirit, that we change and grow in life.
It doesn't really matter what our strengths or weaknesses are because we will always need God. The truth is, we're desperate for God all the time whether we feel like it or not. And we are promised in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (NIV). God wants us to give Him everything we are not and His strength will be made perfect in us.
