Psalms 115: 13, 14,
He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great. The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM
I end this week of looking at the salvation of the household with this blessing for Psalms 115. The Blessing of the LORD is bestowed upon those who fear Him. He is gracious to those who honor, praise, thank and remember all the manifold goodness that He has done.
The LORD promises an increase, in everything good, for you and for your children; your household. Now, all we have to do is trust, watch and wait for the manifestation of the great benefits from His Hand.
Why does GOD give such blessings to the small as well as the great? First of all, we are all small children of His. A friend of mine used to say,"If you are not as old as GOD, you are His child." she was 98 years old when she said that.
Next, we are all great in the eyes of the LORD. Look at all the people in the Scripture who the LORD called "great", they were people of faith in Him and trusted Him; they feared Him.
Next, verse 16 says, The heaven, even the heavens are the LORD's; but the earth hath He given to the children of men. The LORD blesses us and our children, so that we can live in the earth as good stewards of His creation, from generation to generation. Matthew 5: 5 says, Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth. The meek, know that they are small and that GOD is great; they are easily taught by the LORD the way to govern the earth and be good stewards of it. The meek, fear the LORD, which is the beginning of wisdom, and are blessed forever more.
