A Psalm of Solomon

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis explore Psalm 127, a Psalm of Solomon that reminds us that all our efforts are meaningless unless the Lord is the one building and protecting. They reflect on the difference between a lifeless house and a love-filled home, emphasizing that true value and blessing come only when God is at the center of our work, our provision, and our security. Drawing connections to Ecclesiastes and Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6, they discuss the futility of striving in our own strength, the peace that comes from trusting God, and the rest He gives to His beloved. The conversation also celebrates the gift of children as a tangible expression of God’s life-giving work, pointing to the deeper truth that all creation flourishes when rooted in His presence. Through Scripture and personal insight, they invite listeners to seek God first, trusting Him to provide all they need.
