WHO IS THE MAN WHO FEARS THE LORD?
The Psalmist David desired to be a man who fears God;
He was aware of his many failings before the Lord.
He sought to learn about God and all His ways;
He had to battle sins that caused him to go astray.
He saw how the Lord would bless those who fear Him;
God instructed them and made them strong within.
The Lord was their great and personal Teacher;
He was their Guide and their glorious Defender.
The Lord blesses even in things material;
Even though His focus was on things spiritual.
These blessings extend to the descendants;
God’s blessings are truly resplendent!
The secrets of the Lord would be revealed;
The Covenant blessings would not be concealed.
We have wonderful reasons to fear the Lord;
May we desire to practise the reverence of God!
