Psalm 128

Psalm 128 continues the subject entered upon in No. 127. It gives a beautiful picture of the life to be enjoyed by the earthly saints during the Lord’s millennial reign. Anxiety and care and even want, so often marring the happiness of many a home in these days, will be banished in that day. How sweet that rest and peace must be to the faithful Israelite!

Yet for us, the believers of the present dispensation of grace, how much more blessed, more glorious, the future! We shall be like the Lord (1 John 3:2²Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1 John 3:2)), and with Him (1 Thessalonians. 4:17) forever. Heaven, not earth, is our home. He will have us with Himself (John 14:3³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:3) and 17:24), and we long to be with Him (Revelation 22:20²⁰He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22:20)) in the home above.

“Lord, haste that day of cloudless ray.

That prospect bright, unfailing!”
