Psalms 128:2
You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.

Michael R. from Somewhere said:
Those who fear God and walk in obedience to him will get a double portion. They will work, and be successful and enjoy all the fruit, and all the blessings they acquire. In addition, God will take from the wicked and give to the righteous.

Psalms 127:1
Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.

Michael R. from Somewhere said:
Human efforts can only go so far. Our arms are too short. We walk tightrope of life, but no amount of skill or caution can keep us from falling off. God is our safety net, and the only thing stopping us from plunging to our doom. No goal can be achieved without God's help. All our work, if God is not involved, is worthless. We can run the marathon, but without God we're likely to pass out from, exhaustion just short of the finish line. Trying to accomplish something without God is like trying to get somewhere by running on a hamster's wheel. God picks up where we fall short, and completes us.
