Psalm 128:1, “Blessed is every one that fearth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.”
Happy are you if you reverence God. We have talked about needing to understand ‘Who” God is. He is the all powerful and all knowing creator of the universe who is in control of everything that happens. We need to keep our hearts and minds focused on this truth at all times. When we see God for who He really is, all the problems of life fall into their proper places. We begin to see that they are no match for His power and majesty.
I love the fact that this verse says – blessed is EVERYONE that fears God. Everyone of us – with no exceptions, are included in this promise. We are all on equal ground. We just need to reverence God AND walk in His ways for this promise to be ours.
Stop and brainstorm all the ways of God that you can think of that would represent walking in His ways. I just started to write out some examples, but, YOU need to make this a personal exercise. Make out a list of all the things you can think of that you can do to demonstrate to God that you love Him and are desiring to live the way that He wants you to. The Bible is full of instructions on how He desires for a Christian to live. Our goal each day should be to try to DO what He says and seek His help in doing it.
Walking denotes a continuing action. It’s what you need to do – today, and tomorrow, and the next day. Don’t give up. Just keep on, keeping on, and God says you will be blessed (happy) as a result. Great Promise!
