As the pilgrims make their way to the temple, they rejoice over God's provision of their return from captivity. They anticipate a greater return in the future, as God blesses His efforts on their work done on His behalf. The pilgrims also realize the futility of life without God as the central focus. Their labors are fruitless (at home, work or civicly) unless God is actively involved in the process. Those who fear Him (hold and treat Him in reverential awe) are blessed. This blessing involves the home, the family, the city of residence, the totality of life!
