Thoughts on Psalm 127
I sat this morning engrossed with the vision of my round cheeked infant. Her head bobbed rhythmetically as her splayed lips suckled my breast. Her head was round and peachlike, topped with the downiest of hair. Her body was warm against mine, so soft we almost melded together. What a vision! This must be something of what the Lord means when He says "the fruit of the womb is a reward"(Psalm 127:3). I suppose it is a reward for all of the toil involved in bearing and caring for them. I have never worked so physically hard for anything in my life. Yet I don't deserve her, she is a blessed gift. Maybe this is why in verse 2 of Psalm 127 we are reminded of the vanity of this toil and that God provides for us in the midst of this. I need to hear this, and often. "...for He gives to His beloved even in his sleep." Especially when I haven't had enough sleep, which is about always these days. I pray that I will always look to the Lord to build my house in the midst of my labors because I am tired and frail and don't want to spoil this precious gift He has entrusted to me.
