Meditation: Those who fear the Lord and walk in that path receive God's blessing.
Confession of Faith: Apostles' Creed
Text: “Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD and walks in his ways. You shall eat according to the toil of your hands, and you will be blessed and prosper” (Psalm 128:1-2).
Word: What is ‘fearing God’? The dictionary definition of the word awe is ‘respect and fear’. It means “serving with fear and trembling.” Abraham is a representative person recognized as fearing God in the Bible. In Genesis 22:12, God said to Abraham, “Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld your only son from me.” God praises Abraham's fearful faith. Like Abraham, no matter how much God gives me a word that goes against my will, common sense, and morals, obeying with ‘yes’ is the faith that I fear.
God blesses us when we fear Him. He gives you ‘the blessing of eating according to the hard work of your hands’. Those blessings are: First of all, you must be healthy in order to work hard with your hands. No matter how much work is piled up, it is of no use if there is a health problem. That's why people exercise to stay healthy and pay attention to what they eat. God gives us this health.
They also give you a lot of work. For the hand to labor, there must be work. No matter how healthy you are, if you don't have a job, it's useless. There are people who thrive even when the economy is down. He is a man with a lot of work. God gives us a lot of work so that our hands can toil if we fear. That way, it doesn't matter whether you're in a recession or a boom, whether you're happy or not.
The following is the blessing that protects and protects. If you are healthy and have a lot of work, even if your income is overflowing by working, if there are many holes, it is like pouring water into a drained poison. Family members may become ill and be hospitalized, and may experience great difficulties in a car accident. Sometimes a business that was doing well suddenly goes bankrupt. It can be difficult to cover the income you are given with unwanted expenses. If you fear God, He will protect you from these things. He protects us so that we can live in peace. Fear God.
Prayer: Give us faith in the fear of God. Please help me to live with only God exalted so that I can enjoy the blessings that God has given me to my heart's content. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
