Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways

Psalm 128
Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.
You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table. Thus is the man blessed who fears the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion all the days of your life my you see the prosperity of Jerusalem and my you live to see your children’s children.
This ‘wisdom’ psalm sees obedience to God as the route to blessing. The psalmist’s picture describes everything the person of his own day asked of life.
The New Testament changes the concept from material to spiritual reward.
Why?
Fear the Lord is the way to be blessed.
Not only prosperity but also in long life and good spiritual reward.
How wonderful to follow the word of God, and humble myself.
The prosperity of Jerusalem is related to the prosperity of personal home. Both be blessed.
How?
Humble and fear the Lord is the way of blessing.
