I WAS DEMON POSSESSED - COMING SOON. 

 

Fear is typically bad.. but there are a few fears that are good, and in fact today I am going to talk to you about a fear your should pray to have and live by every day! 

 

128 

Blessed is every one who fears the Lord, (you are more interested in what his word and his voice are telling you to do than the other voices around you)
Who walks in His ways. (This is the proof that you are fearing him, your actions speak louder than words) 

2 

When you eat the labor of your hands,
You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.

(your hard work will pay off, and you will see advancement in what you do. its gonna be aallll good)

3 

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
In the very heart of your house, (your wife will be blessed with children, and success in who she is. Vines have grapes, grapes produce wine… wine is celebratory. Your wife will be a constant cause of joy and celebration in your life)
Your children like olive plants
All around your table.

(Olive plants in those days were symbolic of Gods grace, olive oil was something used to set things apart. You anointed things with oil signifying it was for God. Basically your kids will stand out for all the good God reasons) And around your table signifies again the idea of family… it will speak well for your whole family. 

 

4 

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears the Lord.

This is stating again and emphasizing these verses… Its as if I said “you know when you shop for deals a, b, and C happen and thats why you shop for deals”.

He is putting a bow on this to signify its importance. 

 

5 

The Lord bless you out of Zion,

Zion… that is Gods throne up in heaven. He sees you from heaven and he pronounces blessing on you from heaven. Everyone gets to see your life blessed from heaven down. Hey the orders are coming in from the top! 

And may you see the good of Jerusalem
All the days of your life…

In a sense the psalmist is saying… may this trend continue through out all your families family and families… 

6 

Yes, may you see your children’s children…

Finally he is stating… you will live a long life.

And by this we see one last stanza stating the obvious… if you bless israel, if you pray for Israel, if you love Israel you will be blessed. 

Peace be upon Israel!

 

Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. 

 

It is a simple Psalm that can be prayed every day and it will begin to capture your heart… but it all starts with fearing the lord.
