Psalm 128
Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways!
2 You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
who fears the Lord.
5 The Lord bless you from Zion!
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life!
6 May you see your children's children!
Peace be upon Israel!
Luke 2:25-27
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon,
and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel,
and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit
that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 And he came in the Spirit into the Temple,
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus,
to do for him according to the custom of the Law
Simeon's outlook on being a Child of God: Believing the Holy Spirit is very real and part of him and his life. The conviction not to see death and to see Jesus Christ. To believe we worship God and are filled with His Spirit. To do for Jesus what the Word of God breathes and teaches.
God's Word, every Word of God's is Law. So much so this Universe is upheld by His Word. His Word is Jesus Christ made manifest. The Light of the world is given to us by Father God. The Light of mankind is placed in us by His Word and Steadfast Love.
We Live by every Word of God. How rich and marvelous is to realize just in describing Simeon, we are Blessed.
Colossians 3
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,
in all wisdom completely fill your lives, while you use all your wisdom to teach and instruct each other. With thankful hearts, sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.
The Word of God is Living and Active. Before Jesus, Moses. Moses told of his encounter with God Himself :
Acts 7:38
This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. He received living oracles to give to us.
Our God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Genesis 1 to Revelation 22, a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
The Living Water of Jesus nourishing and enfolding on the road to Emmaus, today, and in our lives to have His Word live and move and dwell within.
Luke 24:32
They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”
John 5:17
Jesus said to them,
"My Father is always at his work to this very day,
and I too am working."
Abba,
We give You Heartfelt and Great Thanks for Your Blessing. Every day.
