A happy fear!

Happy is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways.
(Psalm 128:1)

Psalm 128 is a psalm of praise that simply gives God all the credit for what is good about life. Those areas such as fruit of labor, family, prosperity, and peace (or wholeness/completeness).

For me, fearing the LORD, is a happy and fulfilling fear. It is more such a respect for the LORD that whatever we sense that the LORD wants us to do will get done. The LORD is to be like a financial advisor who teaches us where to invest our time and resources.

That pushes me to ask, "Of my life, where would God encourage me to invest most?"
