Psalm 128 – Old Testament Survey

Verses 1-2-Moses reminds us of these truths in Deuteronomy 4.40. When we follow God’s Word, He blesses us with His presence.

Verses 3-4-The Scriptures present blessings in terms of children due to its agrarian society. The Psalmist promises blessings from God when His Word is kept.

Verses 5-6-In developing this word picture, the Psalmist continues the blessings through the generations. When God’s Word is followed, His blessings follow.

This Psalm basically reminds us that true joy only comes with holiness. How are you doing? What did you do today that showed the people in your sphere of influence that you are set apart (holy) for God’s purpose?

This Psalm also presents the need to plan ahead. We live for the Lord today and plan to live for Him with our great-grandchildren. How wisely are you planning for today and all your tomorrows?
