Psalms 144:12-15
May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars
cut for the structure of a palace;
may our granaries be full,
providing all kinds of produce;
may our sheep bring forth thousands
and ten thousands in our fields;
may our cattle be heavy with young,
suffering no mishap or failure in bearing;
may there be no cry of distress in our streets!
Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall!
Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
Subject: God's Blessings
The above prayer is a prayer for blessing in one's life. The key to the prayer is to realize that it is God, alone, who provides such things. In our world today men and women think they can obtain this by themselves. We have believers who think we can secure this through an election. They think political office and political power is the way these things come to us. They think more about being a Constitutionalist than a Biblicist. In this passage King David gives us the formula for blessing in our lives and our lands: Ask God and submit to Him in obedience, fear and reverence. There is no other way.
