Psalm 128 (Listen)
128:1 Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,
who walks in his ways!
2 You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
who fears the LORD.
5 The LORD bless you from Zion!
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life!
6 May you see your children’s children!
Peace be upon Israel!

How happy is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways! (Psalm 128:1)
I will praise and thank the Lord because His ways lead us to find happiness. This isn’t hard to understand, is it? Those that fear the Lord and walk in His ways will experience true and ultimate happiness. This principle reminds us that there are blessings found in trusting God and that these blessings are available to all. You can be blessed, your spouse can be blessed, your children can be blessed, and your grandchildren can be blessed, your neighbor can be blessed, your co-worker can be blessed. In fact, it is not just you who are blessed, but also those around you as through your presence as a blessing. So, what are you waiting for? Obey Him today and find the happiness that awaits in following God’s best for us!
Pray It: Father, help me to remember the blessing that is found in following your ways and to experience such blessing and happiness by remaining faithful to you. Amen.
