Unless the LORD builds the house, They labour in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; For so He gives His beloved sleep. - Psalm 127:1-2

Jesus is the bread given by our Father in Heaven to fill our hunger and quench our thirst and in Him is everlasting life (John 6:32-35, 51). He is the only bread that can set us free from sin and cover us in His righteousness (Romans 6:20, 22), giving us spiritual fulfilment and providing for all our needs. Why looking for completeness in material goods and in the so called disease “workaholism”? Because it is easy to comply with the world and difficult to be so “different”? We should not forget that we are in the world, but not from the world. It is He who renews us in the spirit of our mind and as a new man created in God enables us to walk in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:17-24). He directs our steps whatever our plans might be (Proverbs 16:9), for the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). And He has promised us His unfailing love which cannot be shaken ever
(Isaiah 54:10). There is no promise greater than that - what else do we need?
