Fear the Lord

​S-psalm 128:1-4 NIV

1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
    who walk in obedience to him.
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor;
    blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
    within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
    around your table.
4 Yes, this will be the blessing
    for the man who fears the Lord.

O- The psalmist proclaim that blessed are the man who fears the Lord and walks in obedience to Him.  We are to seek this obedience and fear in our lives so that the fruit of our labor will be blessings and prosperity.   Your wife and children will bare much fruit and be a blessing onto him who fears the Lord.

A - The application for me is to have a reverant fear of the Lord and walk in obedience to him.  I do this by leaning on God for understanding and direction and then walking in obedience to his promptings.  Having a healthy fear of the Lord will keep me postured to come to him because His ways are better than my ways and he knows the way to abundant life.  

P - Dear heavenly Father,  thank you for this devotion today may it be sealed to my heart.  I come to you humbly asking you to guide my steps and help me to walk in your ways.  I pray this all in Jesus Christ name, Amen
