"It is vain for you to rise up early, to retire late, to eat the bread of painful labors; for He gives to His beloved even in his sleep."
(Psalm 127:2, NASB)
Most translations say, "for so He gives His beloved sleep," for which I am deeply grateful. But the NASB gives an interesting translation which is consistent with Biblical Theology, "For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep." The, "Beloved," of our Lord Jesus Christ live in a constant state of union with and in Our Beloved Lord Jesus Christ, Who, according to the "God-Breathed" Word says will never leave or forsake us. He is the Ever-abiding One.
So as you go to bed tonight, remember, "He gives (and continues to give) to you, "His beloved[,] even in [your] sleep."
Father, in Jesus' Name, our text makes so much sense because it is just like You. Amen.
