Day 161 Bible Reading: 1 Kings 7, Acts 7:30-53, Psalm 128 and Proverb 16:31-33
Psalm 128 is another word of reassurance from God on how much He delights in showering us with his kindness and goodness. His heart is bubbling with joy and everything that is good and perfect. For the ancient Israelites, blessedness consisted of a productive farm, a faithful wife and children around the table together. And so God relates to them and lets them understand that He desires nothing less but His best for them and their families.
God has not changed in His desire to bless us abundantly. He gave His best gift to us in no less than His only son to die for us so we can once again be aligned with His perfect and amazing plan.
Our part has not change also, we need to learn to fear/respect Him for He is our Creator, Master, Redeemer and Friend.
"Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways!" – Psalm 128:1 (English Standard Version)
"Heavenly Father, Thank you for I can totally trust you with my future. Your plan for me is always good and amazing. Help me today to honour and worship you with my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
