Focus Point: Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. Psalm 112:1
Commentary: According to the dictionary, one definition of the word “blessed” means to be blissfully happy or contented. Most people want to be “blessed” and scripture gives the Christian believer instructions on how to walk in the blessings of God.
- Praise God – let the Christian thank God for being with him in every circumstance.
- Fear The Lord – let the Christian remember that if it was not for God’s grace and mercy he would have no hope at all.
- Delight in God’s Commandments – let the Christian believer understand that God gives us rules to live by and these rules are for our own benefit. It is good for us that we have proven principles that we can follow. Living by Godly principles leads to living the best life possible. For each Christian, the best life possible is the “blessed life”. The “blessed life” is God’s gift to the Christian who lives a life of praise, respect and in accordance with God’s revealed principles.
Prayer: Father, I want to thank you for showing me that I can have and live a “blessed” life. Help me dear Lord to love you the right way and respect you the right way. Give me the will, desire and strength to have faith in your commandments and most importantly to follow your commandments. Help me to share with others that you want them blessed too. Thank you for providing a blessing to each and every person who reads or hears your word and prays this prayer today. In the name of Jesus I pray . . . Amen.
