The reading changes at midnight Central Time, and it stays the same all day.

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

Psalm 127:3King James Version

Plain English

'Children are an heritage of the Lord,' and lo means look. Heritage means a gift placed in your care, and the fruit of the womb is His reward, not a trophy we earn. If that gift was never given, or if a child is gone, this verse is not a score against you.

Devotional

A sleeping child is a weight of trust in your arms, not a prize for the shelf. Parents and grandparents get to guard, teach, and love what God has given. Empty arms are real too, and God sees them.
