God Will Bless Them that Fear the LORD - Psalms 115:13

In Psalms one hundred fifteen the Psalmist said, “The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron”, and in chapter one hundred fifteen and verse thirteen of Psalms the Psalmist said, “He will bless them that fear the LORD” where we read,

He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

The Psalmist began with the words, “He will bless them that fear the LORD, ...”. The Psalmist began, “he will bless them” or “he, Jehovah God, shall praise, salute and celebrate the people both male and female” “that fear the LORD” which means “who are afraid, reverent and in awe of Jehovah who is the existing One and the proper name for the One True God”. The Psalmist said that Jehovah God will salute and celebrate the people who give respect, reverence and awe to Him.

The verse goes on to say, “both small and great”. The Psalmist continued with the words, “both small” or “the people who were were young, insignificant and unimportant” “and great” which means “and distinguished, important and noble”. The Psalmist said the people who were important and unimportant would be “blessed” by Jehovah God when they “feared” Him.

When we meditate upon the Psalmist's words in this verse, we see how he said people who give reverence and awe to Jehovah God shall be saluted and celebrated by Him. Whether they are important according to world standard or seemingly unimportant to others, God will “bless” them. God is no respecter of people, (See Acts 10:34) and He sent His Son Jesus to be crucified for all mankind. When we believe and trust in Him as our personal “Savior and Lord”, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life and “bless” us in this life and the life to come for giving honor, glory and reverence to Him.

Next time the Psalmist says, “the LORD shall increase you more and more”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
