Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
who walk in obedience to him.
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
4 Yes, this will be the blessing
for the man who fears the Lord.
who walk in obedience to him.
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
4 Yes, this will be the blessing
for the man who fears the Lord.
5 May the Lord bless you from Zion;
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
6 May you live to see your children’s children—
peace be on Israel. (Psalm 128)
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
6 May you live to see your children’s children—
peace be on Israel. (Psalm 128)
Thoughts: Today my second grandchild was born. It is amazing that someone just by existing can be such a blessing from God.
The Psalmist above defines blessing. it is not by how much you have- but that certain things happen. You reap what you sow- eating the fruit of your labor. Your wife will be a blessing to you. Children will be a blessing. The people of God are doing well in your lifetime, and you get to live to see your children's children- your grandchildren.
Today I count it as a blessing fulfilled. It is not a blessing deserved, but nonetheless I will take it as one of the great blessings in life. Before 1915 the average male American lived until they were 45. To live long enough to see your grandchildren is a super blessing. The family, the ability to eat well, and the church are the three primary blessings. I have enjoyed all three tremendously. I am truly blessed and truly grateful to God.
