Songs from the Heart Day 30 Psalm 128

Write the Psalm

Psalm 128

All you who fear God, how blessed you are!

    how happily you walk on his smooth straight road!

You worked hard and deserve all you’ve got coming.

    Enjoy the blessing! Soak in the goodness!

Your wife will bear children as a vine bears grapes,

    your household lush as a vineyard,

The children around your table

    as fresh and promising as young olive shoots.

Stand in awe of God’s Yes.

    Oh, how he blesses the one who fears God!

Enjoy the good life in Jerusalem

    every day of your life.

And enjoy your grandchildren.

    Peace to Israel!

—The Message

Take a few minutes to handwrite Psalm 128 in your journal or on a piece of paper, taking the time to mull over each phrase. As you write, thank God for the faithfulness of those before you, who rightfully revered him and lived obediently—so that you would come to know and walk with him. There are no coincidences, and he is faithful across generations.
