The Man's Psalm (Psa. 128)

Psalm 128 is "The Man's Psalm."  It mentions  God (v. 1), work (v. 2), marriage (v. 3), children (v. 3) and country (vv. 5-6).  When these things are functioning properly, as a man keeps God first, that's success for a man.  At least it should be.

There is no true success without fearing God.  Don't just fear God.  Pursue Him:  "Walk in His ways." 

When homes change (vv. 3-4), then society changes (vv. 5-6).  The best kept secret for a strong nation is strong, Christian men.

Here is a brief outline:

• A man's heart (v. 1) > God
• A man's home (vv. 2-4) > marriage, children
• A man's hope (vv. 5-6) > hope of prosperity (v. 5), hope of posterity (v. 6), hope of peace (v. 6)
