Blessed Are Those That Kneel

Psalm 119:1-3 are very informative verses for us to uncover a depth of understanding of a major key to unlocking the mysteries of how to gain strength in living a righteous life with the Lord. To build our spiritual strength in the Lord, there must be a submission of our weaknesses to Him.

Let's read the three verses:

¹ Blessed are the undefiled in the way,
Who walk in the law of the LORD!
² Blessed are those who keep His testimonies,
Who seek Him with the whole heart!
³ They also do no iniquity;
They walk in His ways.

In the original Hebrew, the word that blessed was translated from is barak meaning, "to kneel", or inferring a praise to Yahweh God through honoring and submitting to His laws and commandments that were His ways. We may understand from this, that in order for us to live the Christian life that is undefiled along our paths and having the strength to keep His testimony alive within us, we must kneel to His authority, giving praise through action, a deference to His leadership and headship over us. Jesus is our worthy King and should continually be blessed.

I find it necessary to say here that we must bear in mind that all access to the Father comes through Christ Jesus our Lord, and they are of the same being along with the Holy Spirit. If we want to live righteously, it starts with our heart, there must be a purposing for us to have the want to out of sincerity.We begin with a kneeling and end with a blessing. The kneeling or submission gives Him praise through living, and walking in His ways. Without kneeling, there will be no: being undefiled in the way; walking in His law; keeping His testimonies; or seeking Him with our whole heart. If we do not structure a life of kneeling, there is no life of blessing to the Lord, or others.

Let's not just give lip-service of praise, but true praise is in the living, through our actions.
