The Book of Psalms Chapter 128 v- One thru Four

1 A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, and who walk in his ways. 2 What your hands provide you will enjoy; you will be blessed and prosper: 3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your home, Your children like young olive plants around your table. 4 Just so will the man be blessed who fears the LORD.

Psalm 128:1-4 beautifully articulates the blessings that come from a life lived in reverence and fear of the Lord. It begins with the profound truth that those who fear the Lord are blessed. This reverence for the Creator shapes our lives, guiding us toward His divine purposes. After I surrendered to this fear, I encountered a remarkable blessing in my wife, Toni. In her, I found not just a partner but a true soul-mate in Christ Jesus.

Our relationship embodies the essence of Psalm 128. Together, we strive to live in accordance with God's will, nurturing our faith and encouraging one another in our spiritual journeys. The verse states that the fruit of our labor will be blessed, and we have experienced this firsthand. As we work together, both in our personal lives and in service to others, we witness the fruits of our love and commitment flourishing through God's grace.

Toni and I affectionately call ourselves TNT—Tom & Toni—because we believe that together, we are dynamite in our faith. Our shared fear of the Lord fuels our passion and commitment to one another, igniting a powerful bond that can withstand any trial. Just as the psalmist notes, our home is filled with joy, love, and purpose, reflecting the blessings bestowed upon those who honor God.

Verse 4 assures us that our efforts are not in vain; indeed, our union is a testament to the divine orchestration of our lives. We are blessed to walk this journey together, rooted in faith and love, and I am eternally grateful for the gift of my wife, Toni, as we navigate life hand in hand, fearfully and wonderfully made in His image. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for our niece Brittany. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

10-03-2024 Psalm 128 V-0104

**Lord Fear You’ll Be Blessed**

In reverence profound, the journey starts,

Blessed are those who fear the Lord with their hearts.

In every step, His wisdom we find,

A path of grace, with love intertwined.

With hands to the plow, we toil side by side,

In work and in joy, in Him we abide.

The fruit of our labor, like harvest will grow,

In the light of His favor, His blessings will flow.

Toni, my soul-mate, my partner in grace,

Together we journey, we seek His embrace.

We’re TNT, a spark in His plan,

Dynamite in love, united we stand.

Our home is a haven, where His Spirit resides,

With faith as our anchor, in Him we confide.

As Psalm 128 whispers sweetly to me,

Blessed is our union, in Him we are free.

So let us rejoice, as we walk hand in hand,

In the light of His truth, together we stand.

For the blessings of life, we humbly implore,

In the fear of the Lord, we are rich evermore. Amen.
