June 9 (Tuesday) -- Our House...In the Middle of Our Street

Retro Alert: You might have to have been around in the 80's to recognize the image I put on today's post. :)

Building a temple in seven years, Old Testament style: 1 Kings 5:1-6:38

History of Israel, Stephen style: Acts 7:1-29

Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of kids: Psalm 127:1-5

Plotting evil with winks: Proverbs 16:28-30


How fitting that today’s Psalm was written by Solomon, who we read about from today’s Old Testament reading in 1st Kings. :)

Psalm 127:1 says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.”

The house is the ultimate place of refuge and security. It’s where you go to rest, be safe, and re-energize. The house is a vital component to one’s life. It’s where a family spends time together, where meals are consumed, and memories are made.

Yet, the house has no stability unless the Lord is the center of the house.
