On Saturdays, we consider a passage of Scripture:
Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways!
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
who fears the Lord.The Lord bless you from Zion!
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life!
May you see your children’s children!
Peace be upon Israel!

Soul searching
Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!”
Proverbs 15:33 “The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor.”
Psalm 33:18 “Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, 19 that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.”
At one time in my life, just after high school, I thought the Bible called everyone to live exactly as Jesus did. We were instructed to forsake all and follow him - so I did.
It took me three years of reading the Bible to discover that it was OK to enjoy the fruit of my hands. It was OK to enjoy a wife and children. It was OK to prosper. God delights to give us good things.
Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was from the hand of God. Eccl 2:24
