Psalm 128 :5,6 – “The Lord bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life. 6 Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!”
Years ago I developed a document called The Blessing. It is a compilation of scriptures that speak blessing over the lives of people. When I read the psalm in today’s One Year Bible reading I immediately thought about it. I retrieved the document and wanted to post it for today’s devotional. I hope and pray that it is a blessing to you. Read it, speak it out loud, and speak it over your family and your personal life. There is power in speaking blessing over what you want blessed!
Psalm 128:5,6
The Lord bless you out of Zion,
And may you see the good of Jerusalem
All the days of your life.
Yes, may you see your children’s children.
Num 6:22-27
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Duet 28:1-14
May you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, and carefully observe all His commandments.
The Lord bless you in the city and in the country.
The Lord bless you in the fruit of your body and increase all that pertains to you.
The Lord bless you when you come in, and bless you when you go out.
The Lord cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
The Lord command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand.
The Lord establish you as a holy people to Himself that others will see that you are called by the name of the Lord.
The Lord grant you plenty of goods.
The Lord open to you His good treasure to bless all the work of your hand.
The Lord make you a lender and not a borrower.
The Lord make you the head and not the tail.
The Lord place you above and not beneath.
3 John 2
The Lord cause you to prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers

May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend you; May He send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion; May He remember all your offerings…May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your purposes… May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.
