Proclamation:
“Praise The Lord. Blessed are those who fear The Lord, who find
great delight in His commands. Their
children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in their houses, and
their righteousness endures forever.”
Psalm 112:1-3 (NIV)
Explanation:
The words of this psalm were written under
the influence of The Holy Spirit of God by an unknown human author, which was
probably King David, based upon the style in which it is written. As with the previous psalm, Psalm 111, the
first letter of each clause or sentence follows in alphabetical order per the
Hebrew alphabet. This psalm presents the
character and conduct of a good man. He
that holds The Lord God in reverent awe and who delights in The Word of God
will be blessed. The children of this
upright man will also be blessed.
Application:
The upright believers who delight in and
follow The Word of God will be blessed with abundance and contentment because their
heart is satisfied by God alone. Their
wealth and riches may be worldly and spiritual but their joy will come from The
Lord. If we behave and converse in a
Christ-like manner, we will be blessed.
Believing and trusting in The Lord is the surest way of being blessed
with the desires of our heart.
