"It 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."
- Psalm 127:2
This verse is a straight-up reminder that real rest doesn't come from hustling, stressing, or trying to control everything. God is the one who gives sleep—He gives peace to His beloved. You can grind all you want, but if you're not anchored in God's love and grace, you'll just end up tired and anxious. Here's how it ties to the Gospel: Jesus is our true rest. The Gospel isn't about you earning your way to peace or salvation—it's about Jesus finishing the work for you. When you trust in Him, you get peace with God, and that peace brings real rest, even in your sleep. So, don't chase sleep—chase Jesus, and He'll give you the rest your soul and body need.
