King David opened up the Psalms with the declaration “Blessed is the man.” He went on to describe this man as one who delights in the Lord. The word blessed in this verse is the Hebrew word “esher” which means “a state of prosperity or happiness that comes when a superior bestows his favor upon one.” David rejoiced because he was favored or blessed by God because of his love for God’s word. When God blesses you, He empowers you to prosper in the thing which He called you to do. This blessings or favor carries with it His power to make it happen. This power works even when the enemy does his best to stop it, because the greater one dwells within you. Rejoice, because He has blessed you, and soon everyone will see the manifestation of that blessing!
