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.
Application:
To fear The Lord God is to hold Him in reverential awe.
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. 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) If we fear The Lord, are obedient to His
Word, and walk in His ways, then we will be truly blessed.
