Beth Moore, Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent

I have been pursued. Help me to slow down and let Christ Jesus apprehend me with His love (84).

"Daniel is a perfect example of a man whose work was blessed even when his workplace is not.... 'The curse of some people's lives is not work, as such, but senseless work, vain work, futile work, work that takes place apart from God'" (Peterson. 86)

"Work where God works; then rest..." (87).

"Once we get grace, we give grace": GET as in receive, but also comprehend/understand.

My Psalm 127

God, be the builder of every aspect of my house.
Guard my city.
Teach me how to work hard but rest well.
My children/grands are Your generous legacy.
I am blessed because of them.
My enemies don't stand a chance against me--
You'll sweep them right off my doorstep.
