Read<\/span><\/h2>\n
Psalm 127:1<\/cite> Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Learn<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Did you know a goldfish can only pay attention for nine seconds?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And people pay attention for even less time \u2013 eight seconds!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are so many things in this world that take our attention away from God. But the Bible says we need to look at God, not other things, because we can do nothing well without Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unless God helps us \u201cbuild our house\u201d, our house will fall down. It is the same with everything else \u2013 unless God helps us do anything, what we do will not last.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes we get so busy, we think we must finish all our work before sitting down to pray. But what we are busy with will be useless if we don\u2019t do it with God and for God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you been giving God your attention? Prayer is one way to stay close to God our Father.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is Day 40 of our Family Devotions. But it is not the last day. Keep praying that the Church of Singapore \u2013 yes, that includes you \u2013 will:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Turn Singapore Godward<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Win the Youth<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Bless the Nations<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Great job in finishing 40 Days of praying every day with Christians in Singapore to build God’s Kingdom!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
