PSALM 128 ~ 7 MAY 2008

The Godly are blessed

Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
who walk in his ways. Psalm 128:1

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. The fear of the Lord is who walks in obedience to Him. What is fearing the Lord?

When we fear the law of our country, take for instance our traffic laws, we will obey them as much as possible.

Fearing God is to have awe and respect for Him and His words. We can't say we fear God and yet not obey His commandments.
Thus we know we fear the Lord when we walk in his ways in obedience. Those who are truly holy are truly happy.

Are you living a "blessed" life? Psalm 128 declares "A Blessed Life" is when God is at the center of life. When that happens, your work, family and personal lives are blessed. You shall have prosperity and peace.

Application:
The obedient way of life is found in the word of God. 4O days of prayer & fast (for sanctification week) may be over, are you still devoted to reading God’s word daily?
Pray to God today that you want to have Him in the center of your life. And that you want to live in obedient to Him.

Make a commitment to spend time reading the word of God daily so that you may live in the fear of the Lord.
