Sleep, Blessings, and Beloved Offspring

Psalms 127:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 127 in context

Scripture Focus

2It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Psalms 127:2-3

Biblical Context

The psalm teaches that endless toil is vain; God gives sleep to His beloved, and children are a divine blessing from the Lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take this psalm as a map of your inner life: you are the beloved of God, not the worker pressed by time. The frantic dawn-to-dusk grind is a habit of the small self; true power rests in the consciousness that I AM supplies all, even sleep. When you rest in that awareness, sleep ceases to be escape and becomes the doorway through which the mind's deeper faculties birth form. In the quiet you permit the subconscious to rearrange your circumstances, so what you seek—clarity, harmony, the right relationships, the right timing—emerges without strain. The 'heritage' and the 'fruit of the womb' are your inner ideas and outer blessings, manifestations that arise from alignment with the divine will rather than from struggle. Providence is your inner intelligence at work; peace, or shalom, is not absence of trouble but the presence of trust. So dwell in the I AM, and let the day be governed by rest in consciousness; your life will reflect a natural birth of blessing from living in unity with God.

Practice This Now

Before sleep, silently affirm: I am one with God; sleep is the gift that births my blessings. Then, in your imagination, see one clear blessing already yours in your waking state.
