PSALM 127

UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS THE HOUSE

Solomon writes that unless the Lord builds the house, those who built it have labored in vain. Knowing that Solomon built the temple under God’s authority, Solomon deeply believed this truth. His work is for God's glory alone! 

Solomon has experienced the peace of God and is thankful for the rest that He brings. 

Solomon praises God for the children and their heritage. Solomon was one of many sons of David but was the one chosen to be king. Solomon knows that his offspring will be the future line of kings and he takes that legacy seriously. 

Psalm 127:3 - Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.
