“Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in His ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee” (Psa 128:1, 2).
Fear and forgiveness go together – “there is forgiveness with Thee that Thou mayest be feared” (Psa 130:4).
“That walketh in His ways” When we cannot forgive others we lose the fear of God – instead of walking in His ways we will begin to walk in our own ways. The very fact that you cannot forgive or refuse to forgive someone is that your mind is already set in your own ways. “The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways” (Pro 14:12,14).You may have many reasons and excuses for not forgiving; however, know that “there is a way that seemeth right unto man but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Prov 14:12).
“Thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands.” This is a blessing found in forgiving others. If you refuse to forgive, others will eat the labour of your hands. “Happy shalt thou be.” Yes, forgiving people are always happy people. It has been rightly stated by someone – “A happy marriage is the union of two forgiving persons.” Unforgiving people will always be unhappy. “It shall be well with thee.” Doctors say that if a person cannot forgive others, high blood pressure, nerve tension, heart problem, cancer and many other aliments can afflict him.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Forgiving others too, is the beginning of wisdom.
