Commentators like Spurgeon emphasize that God's people will have a "visible stamp of divine blessing." This isn't necessarily material prosperity, but a distinct character marked by contentment in poverty or joy in suffering. This inner quality, produced by God's grace, will be so evident that even non-believers will recognize that they are "the seed which the LORD has blessed."
