Psalm 112
1[a] Praise the LORD. [b]
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
who finds great delight in his commands.
2 His children will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.
4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. [c]
5 Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely,
who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 Surely he will never be shaken;
a righteous man will be remembered forever.
7 He will have no fear of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear;
in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor,
his righteousness endures forever;
his horn [d] will be lifted high in honor.
10 The wicked man will see and be vexed,
he will gnash his teeth and waste away;
the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
Chin Ling: I would love to share a relationship with God to a pt like what V7 - 8 describes. I want to keep looking towards him for hope and in faith..
Eunice: And God is still talking about the fear of the Lord.. from svc ytd, till Pslam 111, and today, Fear the Lord. Lord Jesus, restore this fear of you in my heart, that this fear will only grow in ure reverence, and not cold. This fear of you that bring passion and joy in all that I do, bless it. Amen!
Pam: I think todae's pslam set the mode on how to live for Him.... v5-v9.... I wan to be righteous, gracious and generous at work, wif my loved ones n in ministry!
Sara: Some days (most days) i find myself thinking and worrying about tons of things, and yesterday's msg and today's psalm helped me to realise that the answer to all things lie in this - that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom & knowledge. When we're in the house of the Lord, we dont have to fear, for our hearts will be steadfast and secure. And in the house of the Lord lies wealth and riches and righteousness, so why am i still worrying about the woes and things of the world? Thank You Lord for the greatest Father you are, and now you have released me from my silly struggles! =)
Crow: Wow, so so many promises of the Lord's blessings to claim!!! It is a reminder to me to daily walk right with the Lord.. Well, in a sense, it's not about the blessings... but as i read through the psalm again, i can't help but feel the Lord's heart is that he really really wants to give us all this blessings, this favour, wealth, joy, good life etc.. And all he asks is that we Fear the Lord and Follow his commands... Thank u thank u God for your heart to just bless us.... because we forever are your children.. just like how a parent would not think twice about buying something for his/her child's good, God will so readily and freely bless us, because we are his sons and daughters! Thank God for that! :)
Dellia: I wanna take delight in Him and Him alone only! Same prayer as before, teach me the fear of the Lord.
