Psalm 127-The Vanity of Man



Truth for Truckers” *June 7, 2014* Psalm 127 “The Vanity of Man

       On three occasions the Psalmist uses the word “Vain” (v.1, 2) to describe activities of man:
1.      The house-building labor of man is vain unless it is the Lord’s will to build the house
2.      The watching of the watchman is vain unless the Lord keeps the city
3.      The activities of man are vain for it is the Lord who gives His beloved sleep

     Even the children born of man are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of womb is His reward. Children are shown to be like arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth. Happiness comes from having your quiver full of arrows i.e.children. These men shall not be ashamed/disappointed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate placing them in a position of power and influence in the city.

     The vanity of man is compared with the power of God to build, to watch, to give sleep and finally to give children to those who desire to have His blessing of “The fruit of the womb” as His reward. Happiness comes from a full quiver or many children during the younger years. Having the ability to confront the enemy in the gate is also the blessing of God.
