Day 343 Bible Reading: Joel 1-3, Revelation 1, Psalm 128 and Proverbs 29:15-17
Psalm 128 is a wisdom psalm aimed to instruct God’s people in piety and ethics. Verse 1 makes the point that we enjoy a blessed relationship with God by obedience to His word out of awe for who He is. To grow deep in our relationship with God, we need to revere, love, and trust Him, and bend ourselves humbly and obediently to His word. Today, we are his sons and daughters; we are in his kingdom. Fear of Lord means we respond to his love; we will love God in return, we will respect and listen to him, we will do what God asked, we will act within God set a boundary. We honor God, who is our Lord.
"Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways!" – Psalm 128:1 (English Standard Version)
"Lord, I stand in awe of you. I praise you, Lord, with my lips. I appreciate you in obedient living. I praise you in a walk by faith. Amen."
