Psalm 94:12 (AMP) says: Blessed [with wisdom and prosperity] is the man whom You discipline and instruct, O Lord, And whom You teach from Your law.” The word blessed means: “joyful, contentment, good fortune, consecrated, to speak well of.” When God blesses us, He is lovingly sharing his grace, wisdom and favor with us. He bestows upon us an environment where others look at us and declare that we have come in to a place of good fortune. Do you want to be “blessed?” Read Psalm 94:12 again. God blesses the person who submits to His discipline and instruction. Most people reject His discipline and instruction, thus they remove themselves from the process of being blessed by God. When one enlists in the army, the first thing the drill sergeants do is re-make them by putting them in a place of discipline and instruction for several months. Most admit that this process is very difficult. But the finished picture is that they become disciplined, battle-ready soldiers! God also brings us into times of discipline and instruction, not to destroy us, but to build us up into strong and blessed believers. He teaches us His law so that we can walk wisely and confidently on this earth. And as we embrace His discipline and instruction, people will look at our lives and call us blessed! Do not be afraid to embrace His discipline and instruction. He disciplines the ones He loves.
Psalm 94:12 (AMP) “Blessed [with wisdom and prosperity] is the man whom You discipline and instruct, O Lord, And whom You teach from Your law”
