This is the day.

Psalm 128:1 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

This is a very self explanatory passage (and the last one with the phrase we have been looking at in Psalms). Again the fear of the Lord is seen as a qualification for blessing. God loves each of His children, and He wants to bless them. Psalms gives us a good number of ways that we can be blessed in our lives. These last few weeks have shown me that God has a bountiful store of blessings simply waiting for those of His children who will truly sell out to Him. May God bless each of your lives richly, as you endeavor to know Him more.
