FINDING SUCCESS

(Finding in the Psalms #12)

Psalm 127

Dr. Jeff Burris

Wisdom literature answers the question:

How can I ________________________________________?

Contrast:  ______________-built life   vs.  God-built life

Four Rewards of a God-built Life:

 1. Satisfying _______________________ (1-2)

Life/work without God is frustrating, empty, ineffective, unsatisfactory, and

generally _______________________.

Work with/for God is  ___________________, enjoyable & satisfying.

2. Restful ________________________. (2d; Proverbs 3:24; Matthew 11:28)

The self-sufficient life leads to ineffective work, insufficient security, increased

___________________, and interrupted sleep.

The God-built life brings ______________________________.

3. Blessed __________________________ (3-5)

Not a _________________ but a ___________________________:

children are a gift/blessing from God. Your grown children will comfort, honor,

provide for and _________________ you in your old age.

4. Life-giving ___________________________ (2d)

Being a Christian is to receive, know, and live in _______________________

and to love Him in return.
