Title: Psalm 112

Scripture: Psalm 112:1 – 10

God’s Message / God’s Promise / God’s Commands:

→ Praise the Lord!  What an amazing and assuring psalm this chapter is.  The author declared what are in store for the righteous, those that fear the Lord and delights in His commands!  Blessing and might, not only for them but for their children's children.  Wealth and riches in their houses and righteousness enduring forever.  Influence and light will shine even in the darkest of times...good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who are just with their affairs.  If you want to be rich, wealthy, to have influence, power and even for good to happen in your life...then the only path leading to that is to fear God and find great delight in His commands.  As we obey and choose righteousness every day, God promised that we will never be shaken and we will always be remembered forever.  We will thrive and succeed even in hard times.  Even when there are bad news, we will not fear it.  Our hearts are steadfast in the Lord and secure.  We will truly lack nothing, in fact, we will give away everything.  But the Lord will always meet our needs.  What more can we ask for?  Why are we still living in the wicked ways?  Do we want to end up like them who are vexed and wasting their lives away...always longing for things that will never come to pass?  Because that is the fate of the wicked.  They will desire and hope for something but it will come to nothing.  So why choose wickedness?  When the path is clear.  If we want anything good in our lives, the choice is to fear God and find great delight in His commands.  Amen!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your wonderful reminder today.  Thank You for reminding me to fear You and to always remember to find delight in Your commands.  Help me Lord to have this attitude and heart so I may always choose righteousness and uprightness.  Help me Lord that I may walk that path that You have clearly laid out for the just.  Give me wisdom and allow me to remember this truth at all times.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
