Blessings of those who fear the Lord

Let’s get real!  Everyone of us wants to be blessed… and there is nothing wrong with that!

But what does it really mean to be blessed?

God see being blessed so much different than the way we do.  It has nothing to do with finances, material things or social status…

Everything comes back to what you fear.  Do you have the fear of the Lord, or do you fear men? If you fear men, you would pursue ambition, finances, popularity and material things at all cost.  But at the end, it would leave you still feeling empty inside.

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways.  When you eat the labor of your hands, you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.  Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine.  In the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table.  Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.  The Lord bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.  Yes, may see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.

Psalm 128 NKJV

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he [b]meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the [c]rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
