The Blessed Family: Part 1- Joy for the Family who Follows God’s Ways

<span style="font-weight: 400">Today we begin a series for the month of June on Psalm 128. The Psalmist teaches us what it means to have a Christian family. Our reading then is all of Psalm 128.</span> <b><i>How joyful are those who fear the </i></b><b><i>Lord</i></b><b><i>—all who follow his ways!</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400"> You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be! Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, flourishing within your home. Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table. That is the </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Lord</span><span style="font-weight: 400">’s blessing for those who fear him. May the </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Lord</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> continually bless you from Zion. May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live. May you live to enjoy your grandchildren. May Israel have peace! This morning we are focusing on verse one of this inspiring Psalm: </span><b>1 </b><span style="font-weight: 400">How joyful are those who fear the </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Lord</span><span style="font-weight: 400">—all who follow his ways!</span>
