Happy is every one that feareth the LORD
Psalms 128:1-6 A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways. (2) When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. (3) Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table. (4) Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. (5) The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life; (6) And see thy children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
Blessings are contingent upon fearing G-d and walking in his ways.
A person who has come to know G-d, have that reverential fear of G-d, will walk in His ways. You see, a person who’s heart is right with G-d will manifest godly characteristics.
“Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Consider your ways! You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.’” Haggai 1:5-6. All their labor was futile because G-d was not the priority in their life.
Matthew 6:31-33, “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Place G-d first in your life, and G-d will provide your needs. Worrying about food, shelter, health will not help your situation one bit. Focus on G-d and He will see you through.
Shalom uv’racha
