"He giveth (to) His beloved (in their) sleep. " / - Psalm 127: 2
"It is vain for you," says the writer of the 127th Psalm, "to rise early and sit up late and eat the bread of sorrow, for so He giveth to His beloved (in their) sleep. " That is the true reading, and I want you to think about it. "God giveth to His beloved while they sleep. " Over and above what you have yourself achieved, you get something you have never worked for. And you get that, as it were, in your sleep. This is a beautiful thought, and there are three people to whom I want to offer it as God's comfort.
