Psalm 128:1-2 “Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.” These two verses are not wishes or psychological thoughts meant to counter depression. These two verses are absolute truths from our Heavenly Father. You are truly blessed and being blessed means success is yours. Don’t look to “celebrities” or “sports heroes” or anyone else. Look in the mirror and praise and thank the God who blesses you. Never compare–always be a thankful, adopted and blessed child of your Savior. You are blessed beyond measure. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 127:3 “Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him.” God has blessed His faithful with many blessings. The greatest earthly blessing He has given to parents is that of children. That truth is especially seen when young parents have their first child. We ought to all maintain that happiness throughout our children’s lives even when difficulties and the “growing up” times happen. Children are a precious gift from our Heavenly Father.

Psalm 127:1 “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.” All of man’s accomplishments on this earth are only because of the grace of God. That statement is true both individually and collectively. You and I have accomplished nothing because of our great abilities. Yet, you and I have accomplished much because God has enabled us to be successful. Without Him our accomplishments are failures. With Him we can do tremendously. Why would we ever want to live without Him? Can you imagine how happy this world would be if our Creator was recognized and given the praise He deserves? Build your life with Jesus—- both eternal joy and success are guaranteed.

Psalm 125:2 “As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore.” Our all knowing God understands you and I enjoy visuals which help our understanding. This passage is a visual. The purpose? To paint a picture of His ever presence and the security only He can provide. Our God again shows His tremendous love for each of us.

Psalm 125:1 “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.” Imagine putting your arms around a large oak tree and shaking it. You can’t. Now imagine yourself viewing the highest hill in Jerusalem and attempting to shake it. Two problems: putting your arms around it and then shaking that which cannot be shaken. The trust you and I have in our God can never be shaken. His faithfulness endures forever—Praise God!
