Unless the Lord builds
Unless the Lord guards
This shows us that It should be the Lords doing.
Any work if it originates with man, it is vain.
Any thing in Christian life should begin with the Lord and end with Lord.
As Pastor always says don't call anyone or anything good if God is not involved.
If a person is called good
Genesis 11:1-3
11 Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
The people said Let us make , let us build
They want to make the bricks, they want to build the city.
you see their words and their intentions.
words - are of Pride, boast.
any time you don't confess Jesus - there is a pride.
see their actions - they are building it.
and their intentions - verse 4 - let us make a name for ourselves.
Whenever you do a work, without involving God, it becomes a confusion.
Today you see many people saying i am really confused what to do.
Your confusion is because God is not involved.
But look at Abraham -
Wherever he went he built an altar first. If there is anyone who taught this world to give to God it is Abel and Abraham.
And look at Hebrews 11:10
10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Do wait for Gods doing in your lives.

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Aquila and Priscilla - They were established by Paul and now they started speaking Word of God to Apollos,
Acts 18:
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John. 26 So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
They had grown in their ministry and finally there is a Church formed in their house.
19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
