unless

iow, we don't get to make plans & take action & then ask the Lord to bless it?

we basically say to God,"whatcha want me to be &/or do?" & then follow His lead?

That sounds like total surrender.

That sounds like we have no rights or say in the matter

That sounds like that's not fair.

God gave me a brain & I should use it!



Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is useless.

     Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it w/ sentries will do no good.
