Psalm 128
-Theme: Fear of
the LORD to ensure blessings in life. Keys to a peaceful-prosperous home. God’s
reward for a man’s devotion to Him is inner peace.
-Historical Insight: This “Psalm of Ascent” is a traditional
marriage prayer sung at Jewish weddings. It is an anonymous Psalm, but some
have suggested Hezekiah as the author.
-*Application* Fear of the LORD breeds blessing. Walk in His
ways and enjoy all of His benefits. Your wife will be a fruitful vine within
your home, and your children will be like beautiful olive plants around your
table. This is beautiful lyric for a well-adjusted, stable home where peace and
love reign over every area. God’s blessings and prosperity only come when we
submit to His authority over our lives. When we turn our lives over to the ways
of the Master, He gently endorses the steps we take according to His will. From
His throne He gives true abundance all the days of our earthly sojourn even
giving us longevity to enjoy our grandchildren.
