Hello my name is Jasper, bless the Lord.
How many of us desire to live a long and fruitful life? Do we dream of days on the front porch with the swing in the summer breeze? Do we see ourselves playing with our grandchildren or our great-grandchildren? Do we see ourselves being thankful for the long and good life that the Lord has blessed us with? Well, if you take a look at Psalm 34:12 you will see what the Lord requires of you that He may bless you with a long and fruitful life. It's nothing really difficult, it's quite simple for the righteous man. He says, what man desires a long and prosperous life? The first thing you must do is watch the things that come out of your mouth. We must be reminded that words are a living thing and they can build you up or they can tear you down. Be aware of every word that you spring forth from your mouth. Is it to do good? Or is it to do evil? The second thing He requires is that you watch your behavior. Remember, you are a minister or representative of the most high God. He expects you to carry yourself in a righteous manner. He expects you to be holy because He is holy. Be aware of where you go and how you act. Be aware of how you conduct yourself with others. When people see you they should see the God spirit that lives in you. And finally, He says be a peace maker. Seek peace and go after it. Peace will not always come to you, you must seek it, go after it, and pursue it. Always be quick to understand and be tolerant of others, and slow to anger. Do these things and you will find that the Lord will bless you with a long and fruitful life. Who wants to live a long life if it's not going to be good and fruitful to you? No one in their right mind would want to live a long life filled with misery. Do these things of the Lord, and He will bless you with your heart's desire.
Goodbye, my name is Jasper.
