The Olive Plants

Psalm 128 talks about the blessing that are enjoyed by the man who fears the Lord.

The man who fears the Lord has a high view of God. He recognizes the greatness and power of God and, as a result, the man who fears the Lord gives the Lord all of his attention. He is eager to learn from the Lord so that He might do what the Lord says. This man lives to glorify God.

One of the blessings he receives from the Lord is his children. Psalm 128:3 says his children are like olive plants around his table. In Bible times, olive plants had great value. The choicest products came from these plants. For example, kings were anointed with the oil from the olive plant. This speaks of the potential of our children. These plants, though, require careful attention if they are to develop. The man who fears God cares for his children.
