"Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who builds it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchmen stays awake in vain" -- Psalm 127:1 / NKJV
As you consider God's purpose for your own life, you must also consider how your plans will effect the most important people that God has entrusted to your care: your loved ones.
A loving family is a treasure from God. If you happen to be a member of a close knit, supportive clan, offer a words of thanks to your Creator. He has blessed you with one of His most precious earthly possessions. Your obligation, in response to God's gift, is to treat your family in ways that are consistent with His commandments. So, as you prayerfully seek God's direction, remember that He has important plans for your home life as well as your professional life. It is up to you to act and to plan accordingly.
