Unless the\xa0Lord\xa0builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the\xa0Lord\xa0watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious\xa0toil; for he gives to his\xa0beloved\xa0sleep. Behold,\xa0children are a heritage from the\xa0Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of\xa0a warrior are the children\xa0of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies\xa0in the gate.
Psalm 127:1-5 (ESV)

1. Pay attention To God

2. Pay attention to your part compared to God\u2019s

3. Pay attention to what you are building

\u201cAs Christians do the jobs and tasks assigned to them in what the world calls work, we learn to pay attention to and practice what God is doing in love and justice, in helping and healing, in liberating and cheering.\u201d
\u2013 Eugene Peterson

Come to\xa0me, all who labor and are\xa0heavy laden, and I will give you rest.\xa0Take my yoke upon you, and\xa0learn from me, for I am\xa0gentle and lowly in heart, and\xa0you will find rest for your souls.\xa0For\xa0my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30 (ESV)
