The reward promised for walking before God is an ordinary everyday life: the opportunity to eat the fruit of one’s hands and raise children. Such an offer may seem dull and tedious to some, but those who have experienced hunger, need, exile, and insecurity—the list could go on for a long time—know that the opportunity to work in peace and come home calmly in the evening is of genuine value.
How often we seek grand miracles, chase rumors of incomprehensible phenomena, and collect inexplicable facts. Meanwhile, so many everyday miracles escape our attention because they have become familiar and therefore go unnoticed.
But to those who walk righteously before God, the world reveals aspects of itself that escape the gaze of the superficial observer.
127 We must trust in God for success in all enterprizes, Psa 127:1-2. And for children, Psa 127:3-5. A song of degrees of Solomon.
127:1 Build - Assist and bless those that build it.
127:2 You - Builders, or watchmen. To sit - To use constant and unwearied diligence. So - By his blessing. Giveth - Freely, without that immoderate toiling, wherewith others pursue it.
127:3 Children - The chief of these blessings. Heritage - Only from God's blessing, even as an inheritance is not the fruit of a man's own labour, but the gift of God.
127:4 Youth - These he prefers before other children, because they live longest with their parents, and to their comfort and support, whereas children born in old age seldom come to maturity before their parents death.
127:5 Full - Who hath a numerous issue. Shall speak - They shall courageously plead their cause in courts of judicature, not fearing to be crushed by the might of their adversaries.
