Reason For The Blessing

Reason For the Blessing
(Part 2 of Three)

One the other hand, those that seek after and receive His strength are blessed indeed. David sings in 21: 1 of the Psalms, “The king shall have joy in your strength, O Lord. And in Your salvation how greatly he shall rejoice! You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips”.

There is a reason why YAH gave His shepherd king “his heart’s desire”. It is a reason that was the life blood of the man after the heart of YAH. His heart was circumcised; it was soft and pliable, as his words depict in Psalms 37: 4. “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” David’s obedience and allegiance to YAH made him usable in the hand of the Potter, and caused his desires to become YAH’s desires.

“Owz” (strength) is derived from “azaz” which means “to be stout, harden, impudent, to prevail, strengthen (self), or be strong”. In speaking to the Romans in 4: 20 concerning the strong faith of Abraham, Paul said, “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.” In closing comments of his first letter to the Corinthians in 16: 13 Paul says, “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.”
