Text for the Day -- Psalm 128
----------
Happy is everyone who fears the LORD,
who walks in his ways.
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
Thus shall the man be blessed
who fears the LORD.
The LORD bless you from Zion.
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
May you see your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel!
Devotional
----------
Verse four of this psalm is the core teaching - blessings will flow
to the one who fears the Lord. The fear of the Lord refers to the
respect and sense of awe one has in acknowledging the Lord God. One
who honors the true relationship between the Creator and the creature
walks in the way of righteousness and faithfulness.
Prayer
----------
Bless my life, gracious Lord, and open my eyes to your mercy and
love. Amen
