You can Try to Build your Home with out God.

But that Would be a bad decision.
Building our Lives Only in the Lord.
Psalm 53:1 KJV 1900
1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: There is none that doeth good.
Psalm 127:1–5 KJV 1900
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.
Psalms III: Chapters 107–150 (King James Version) Psalm 127: When You Build Your Life or Home without the Lord, 127:1–5

in Ecclesiastes, Solomon stressed the crucial point that life is empty and meaningless without God. The wisest, richest, and most powerful man of his time, Israel’s famed king shocks his readers. In spite of everything he had learned, done, possessed, and achieved, he hated life (Ec. 2:17). He had everything the world has to offer—pleasures, possessions, and power (1 Jn. 2:16)—but none of it brought lasting fulfillment. His life was empty and meaningless because he had forsaken and ignored God.

Psalms III: Chapters 107–150 (King James Version) Psalm 127: When You Build Your Life or Home without the Lord, 127:1–5

Solomon echoes the message of Ecclesiastes. Highlighting three major priorities in most men’s lives—building a house or family, protecting family and community, and working hard to provide for the family—Solomon emphasizes that all are in vain without the LORD. While it is written from the perspective of a man for men, the message of this psalm is true for men and women alike.

We need God’s Spirit Guiding us all the days of our Life’s.

Psalms III: Chapters 107–150 (King James Version) Psalm 127: When You Build Your Life or Home without the Lord, 127:1–5

1. Building a house or family without the LORD results in a weak base: Only He can give a firm foundation (v. 1a).

2. Protecting a city or family without the LORD results in a weak defense: Only He can give true security (v. 1b).

3. Working long, hard hours without the LORD yields no lasting satisfaction: Only He can give true rest and eternal fulfillment (v. 2).

4. Having children is a gift from God (vv. 3–5).

Psalms III: Chapters 107–150 (King James Version) Psalm 127: When You Build Your Life or Home without the Lord, 127:1–5

If our lives and our homes are resting on the solid rock of God and His Word, we will not fall. This foundation will support us through every storm of life and protect us when God’s judgment sweeps over this sinful world, preserving us both now and throughout eternity

Matthew 7:24–29 KJV 1900
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
1 Corinthians 3:11 (KJV 1900)
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Timothy 6:17–19 KJV 1900
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Psalm 40:1–4 KJV 1900
1 I waited patiently for the Lord; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. 4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Proverbs 10:22 KJV 1900
22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, And he addeth no sorrow with it.
Proverbs (King James Version) A. A Contrast between the Wise and the Foolish, the Righteous and the Wicked (Part 1), 10:1–32

First, only the LORD’s blessing brings wealth to people’s lives. People may scheme and labor with all their strength, but without God’s blessing, they will never accumulate riches. Rich people are rich because of God’s blessing.

Second, the only people who are truly rich are those who are blessed by the LORD. Genuine wealth is not determined by money and possessions. Many people have vast treasures in worldly things, but are poor in every other way. On the other hand, many who have little of this world’s goods lead the richest and happiest lives because of the LORD’s blessings. While having money is preferred to not having it, the greatest blessings of God have nothing to do with material things.

Proverbs 10:25 KJV 1900
25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
