This psalm tells us that God blesses us so that the world may fear Him. This sounds a little strange, but if we remember that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, then this is actually a gift. God blesses us, and seeing the power of God in action can bring fear. We see this in Joshua and see two different results. God blessed Israel and protected them, causing Rehab to help the spies and turn to the God of Israel, but the others feared and locked up the city or fought against Israel. The gift is there, what we do with it is up to us, will we or others let it draw them to God or drive them away?
