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.
The qualifiers for all of the above is
to live a righteous, upright life, in right standing
with God.
A GREATER COMMITMENT IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD
Psalms 112:1 NKJV
Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man
who fears the Lord, Who delights greatly in His
commandments.
All year long the Lord has been relentlessly calling our
hearts for a greater commitment in death to self. He
has been asking us to count the cost and then make a
choice. I have consider these things deeply all year.
In context, He has been saying this will give us access
to walk in the power of the age which has now
come. (Heb 6:5)
To walk in the fear of the Lord is to honor God's Word,
which is very clear as to what are unrighteous choices,
motives and thoughts and what is holy. From now on,
there is going to be a greater distinction between those
who are committed and sold out to God in obedience to
scripture and those who are not walking in obedience.
This year the righteous will be blessed and begin a
recovery process of what has been stolen. The wicked's
plans will perish. Those in between will be disciplined
in the fear of the Lord and warned as they see a direct
correspondence between cause and effect - their choices
and results. We must understand that to be friends with
the world is to be an enemy with God. When we disobey
scripture, the devil has a legal right to take what we
have and put us into captivity.
