Building a house to live in, Solomon’s style: 1 Kings 7:1-51
Telling it like it is, Stephen’s style: Acts 7:30-50
Blessed is he who fears the Lord: Psalm 128:1-6
My hair is becoming more splendorous every day: Proverbs 16:31-33
Today’s Psalm seems kind of weird. “Blessed are all who fear the Lord”. Does God really want people to fear Him? Is that how He gets his kicks?
But the word “fear” really means to respect. And this is followed up with “who walk in His ways”. We need to respect God enough so that He is our Lord. “Lord” means boss, not just friend. That’s the part that might be kind of hard to swallow.
Now for the best part: The word “blessed” means “blessed, happy, fortunate, to be envied”. In other words, it means really, really blessed – so much you’re fortunate and other folks some of what you’ve got.
Respect God enough so that He’s your boss --> and get sure enough blessed!
