Unless the LORD builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.

In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat –
for he grants sleep to those he loves.

• – Psalm 127:1-2

This is why it matters what we choose to do, why we do it, and Who we choose to ask for direction, and follow.
