TODA PROTECAO VEM DO SENHOR
Toda ajuda, toda proteção e toda bênção vêm de Deus; sem ele, todo trabalho, cuidado e angústia são vãos
PSALM 127
Ps 127:1–5. The theme of this Psalm, that human enterprises only succeed by the divine blessing, was probably associated with the building of the temple by Solomon, its author.

CONTENTS AND COMPOSITION.—All help, all protection, and all blessing come from God; without Him all labor, care, and trouble are vain
Freedom from trouble and the peace of the man who reposes in God’s protection
Let God be the beginning and the end in all things, and thou wilt walk securely on thy way so that thy foot shall not stumble.—God’s servants in the ministry of His Church built Him a spiritual house. If it is to be built rightly, God Himself must be the Master-builder—Be first a friend of God, and then do what is commanded thee, leaving the rest to Him. He will prosper thy affairs even while thou sleepest, if thou dost lie down with full trust in Him.—
