For Every Man Who Strives For Greatness
Happy Father’s Day to all the men -- fathers, husbands, brothers, uncles, godfathers, & sons!! Today we celebrate the gift that you are. You were created for greatness, and there’s greatness on the inside of you.
“Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.” ~ Psalm 128:1
When I was single and praying for my future husband, I had one particular verse that I would pray for him -- wherever he was. I would pray, “Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.” (Psalm 128:1).
Of all the verses that I could speak over his life, you may wonder why that one. I always prayed that verse because if my husband feared and obeyed the Lord, then every other thing that he and I would desire in our life together would follow -- and this is illustrated in the subsequent verses of Psalm 128. So today, my Father’s Day Prayer for you is that full chapter.
Read it aloud, and embrace every word for yourself. Happy Father’s Day again!
PSALM 128
1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
who walk in obedience to him.
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
4 Yes, this will be the blessing
for the man who fears the Lord.
5 May the Lord bless you from Zion;
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
6 May you live to see your children’s children—
peace be on Israel.
