Read or Summarize Psalm 127-128
127
1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
128
1 Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
Discuss
What does it mean for the Lord to help us “build [our] house”? How can we better involve Him in our efforts to create a righteous home? If your home is not dedicated, consider dedicating your home. See how to dedicate your home here https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/general-handbook/18-priesthood-ordinances-and-blessings?lang=eng
Activity
You will need a picture of a home (cut into puzzle pieces), building blocks, or something to build a house with. As you discuss what you can do to build a righteous home unto the Lord, add a block or puzzle piece to your home, and literally, build a house into the Lord. For more ideas of things you can do, search the Psalm above.
