Psalm 111
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.
Psalm 112[a]
1 Praise the LORD.[b]
Blessed are those who fear the LORD,
who find great delight in his commands.
2 Their children will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in their houses,
and their righteousness endures forever.
4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.
I want blessed!
Do you see the blessings that come form knowing the Lord and loving him with all your heart? The list of blessings start with the most important gift God can grant.............wisdom. There is nothing more important to survival here on earth or more valuable in your every day life than wisdom. But, God grants even more than wisdom. He grants strength to you and your children. He promises to provide for them and you. He promises to be there to protect you, even in the darkness of life. He will provide the light of Dawn to get us through our tough times. Our main role in these blessings is to be gracious and compassionate. He expects us to be generous and giving of our selves. He expects us to treat others and to act justly. That really is a small set of demands. If we can do those things the blessings will flow and God will make himself evident in our lives.
God is wonderful to those who fear (respect/honor) him. He is the direct supplier of all things wonderful in this life and the life we will live in Heaven. God is the center of all blessings. We need to do our part and we will soon experience his amazing power. Do you want blessed? Now you know what to do!
