Whose ways?

Friends,

Psalm 128:1
Blessed is every one who fears the LORD,
Who walks in His ways. -- NKJV

It's a small detail, but it's critically important. Look closely at the second line of this verse. Notice the fourth word. See that it is capitalized.

You know what that means, of course. It means that "His" refers to the LORD, not to the "every one" that appears in the first line.

"Every one" means you and me. If we fear the LORD, but walk in our own ways, then we will not be blessed. In fact, if we walk in our own ways, we will be following a path that surely leads to death. And, if the truth be told, it means that we really don't fear the LORD, do we.

If we truly fear the LORD, then we will inevitably walk in His ways. And when that happens, we will experience - in a very real and tangible way - the mighty blessings of Almighty God.

Be encouraged, Jose
