Psalm 127

"HAND OF A WARRIOR, FRUIT OF THE WOMB"

¹ Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.

² It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of [anxious] toil—for He gives [blessings] to His beloved in sleep.

³ Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.

⁴ As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth.

⁵ Happy, blessed, and fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them! They will not be put to shame when they speak with their adversaries [in gatherings] at the [city’s] gate.

 

 

LET THIS PSALM SPEAK TO YOU MOM AND DAD. DO YOU HAVE CHILD YOU WEEP OVER, ONE WHO CAUSES FEAR AND ANXIOUS THOUGHTS DAILY.

 

THEN VERSE ONE SAYS TO YOU; KNOW THE LORD IS YOUR WATCHMAN.

 

VERSE TWO; AS YOU TRUST HIM, YOU WILL NOT LOSE SLEEP.

 

VERSE THREE; MOM, GOD PLACED AND CALLED YOUR CHILD BY NAME, WHEN STILL IN YOU.  BEFORE YOU GAVE A NAME, HE SAW THE UNFORMED AND SAID; "YOU ARE MINE."

 

 VERSE FOUR; DAD, YOUR PRAYERS, AND TEARS ARE SEEN AND YOUR CHILDREN WILL HIT THEIR TARGET. LIKE ARROWS FLYING IN THE NIGHT, GOD WILL BE FAITHFUL TO GUIDE THEM HOME.

 

VERSE FIVE; THERE WILL BE NO SHAME, BUT PRAISE! HE WILL RESTORE YOUR FORTUNES AT THE CITY GATE, BECAUSE YOUR CHILDREN HAVE RETURNED VICTORIOUS!!!

 

BELOVED; BE COURAGEOUS IN JESUS THIS DAY.
