Psalms 127:3
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
127:3. Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD. This points to another mode of building up a house, namely, by leaving descendants to keep our name and family alive upon the earth. Without this what is a man’s purpose in accumulating wealth? Yet in this matter a man is powerless without the Lord.
And the fruit of the womb is his reward, or a reward from God. He gives children, not as a penalty nor as a burden, but as a favor. They are a token for good if men know how to receive them, and educate them. Where society is rightly ordered children are regarded, not as an incumbrance, but as an inheritance; and they are received, not with regret, but as a reward. With all the straits of limited incomes, our best possessions are our own dear offspring, for whom we bless God every day.
