The document discusses what it means for a father to receive God's blessing according to Psalm 128. A blessed father fears/walks in obedience to God, enjoys the fruit of his labor and prosperity, and sees his wife and children flourish. Fearing God means respecting His authority more than any other, understanding that we cannot take Him for granted or make Him mad. It involves willingly submitting to God's discipline for one's good and holiness. Blessed fathers want their homes and children to succeed through walking with God.
