Psalm 112:1 Praise the LORD!
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
Who delights greatly in His commandments.
2 His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.
4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established; He will not be afraid,
Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.
9 He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked will see it and be grieved; He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked shall perish.
Today FATHER is encouraging us that the Righteous shall prevail in the end. It matters not what the current temporary state is for HE can change our circumstances in a nanosecond. Soulish man creates scarcity and demand for things that really don’t matter in an attempt to redirect our focus away from sustaining life. Men have looked passed the beauty of what FATHER has created in order to seek out man’s derivative works that disintegrate over time. There is a freshness in what FATHER is doing as we walk with HIM. We begin to see resources as HE does: to use for blessing, not for hoarding. We begin to look for ways to bring life to others as we have been given life. We consider others’ needs instead of being constantly focused on our own.
We are full of Love and compassion for others. We speak the Truth in Love and from a position of Love. We don’t try to beat the Truth into others but simply provide the Truth like a cool drink of water on a hot summer day. We are not easily offended by those who are offensive but instead we disperse their frustration with Love and kindness.
We are not shaken because we have an intimate relationship with Our Heavenly Father. HE knows us, and we know HIM! HE is the ONE who activates us and then authenticates us with signs following. HE is the ONE WHO send us forth to do HIS bidding. This is the Blessed State of the Righteous, and what a state it is!
