Psalm 144:12 May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown,our daughters like corner pillarscut for the structure of a palace;13 may our granaries be full, providing all kinds of produce;may our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;14 may our cattle be heavy with young, suffering no mishap or failure in bearing; [12]may there be no cry of distress in our streets!15 Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall!Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
How much are the desire for the Lord's blessing. And Indeed, the Lord will bless and will provide. The provision is total - in the household to the field and extended beyond the streets.
But what is the blessings for - like David, like Job? So that they may know that God is my Lord!
The study of Job and the study of David - as a father, pointed me and reminded me the priesty rule of a father. David whose heart is after God, failed in many ways in the matter of the family. Job whose heart is right, pray and offer sacrifices for his children, least that they curse God in their heart and sin against the Lord. Such is the attitude of Job - right with God, doing right and walking right with God (for he was a righteous man) and doing what is right for his family.
I was again reminded to Psalm 119:9 How can a young man keep his way pure?By guarding it according to your word.10 With my whole heart I seek you;let me not wander from your commandments!11 I have stored up your word in my heart,that I might not sin against you.12 Blessed are you, O Lord;teach me your statutes!13 With my lips I declareall the rules [3] of your mouth.14 In the way of your testimonies I delightas much as in all riches.15 I will meditate on your preceptsand fix my eyes on your ways.16 I will delight in your statutes;I will not forget your word.
Therefore this is my prayer and meditation, that I may be right with God and walk right with God and so that my children may too walk right with God. Knowing that the Lord will bless.
