Why does God give His beloved sleep?

Answered in 1 source

God gives His beloved sleep as a gift of peace and assurance, reflecting His care and sovereignty over their lives (Psalm 127:2).

Psalm 127:2 declares that 'it is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows, for he giveth his beloved sleep.' This verse highlights that true rest comes from trusting in God rather than worrying or laboring excessively on our own. The 'sleep' granted to His beloved symbolizes divine peace that surpasses human understanding, allowing believers to relinquish their anxieties. This assurance is rooted in the belief that God is in control, actively working for their good, and thus His people can find rest in Him.
