29: Angel Investor

Quote
Read this verse in context
Rodney Green90,000 Hours (p 20), Scripture Union 2002
Psalm 127: 1-2
New International Version
 

The support of the Spirit in our work is no sanctified sentimentality: He is the one who makes the difference between discouragement and perseverance, alienation and fulfillment, inadequacy and excellence... He helps us to pray faithfully about the demands and dilemmas we face, to think biblically, to work skillfully and to judge soundly.

 

Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat – for he grants sleep to those he loves.

    …… Very good maths

    I have never had it so eloquently said, or written, …that I ought to go beyond sentimentality, to practicality, …from mere beleif, to faith in action, from musing when seated, to reflection about the pace and direction of work, ….need i paraphrase it more!
