Proclamation:
Explanation:
The human author of this psalm, and the context and occasion
for which it was written are unknown. The purpose clearly was to
inform the people of God that those who hold The Lord in reverential awe, who
are humbly submissive to Him, and who obey His Word, will be blessed. The author goes on in this psalm to say that
such a person's work will be productive, and all will be well with them, their
spouse, and their children. (Psalm 128: 2-6)
Application:
To fear The Lord God is to hold Him in
reverential awe. God is awesome and awe inspiring. When we place Him in the proper perspective and
live by His Holy Word, He will bless us with joy and happiness. (Psalm
128:2) In order to be truly happy, one
must be truly holy. The believer who truly enjoys life is the one who
acknowledges that The Lord God is in every aspect of their life. When we
walk in His ways not only will we be blessed but our family will also be
blessed. (Psalm 128:3-4) By living in
practical obedience to The Word of God and walking with God, one can truly
enjoy a happy, healthy, productive, and long life. (Proverbs 3:1-2) Fear
The Lord, be obedient to His Word, walk in His ways, and be truly blessed.
