Psalm 69:35-36
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
God cares about the seed of His servants. He looks to the sons of the sons of God. He is the God of the living and looks after the legacies of His beloved. The land is the Lord's and those that love His name shall dwell therein.
Psalm 127
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. 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. Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 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.
The Lord builds homes and heritages. In Him they stand and march ahead. By Him they hold together and hold on to Him. It is vain to try to establish yourself outside of Him. It is a lesson in futility. Faith in His promises will, however, establish you and your sons, now and forever.
