TOPIC: BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO FEARS THE LORD
TEXT: Psalm 112:1-10 (NKJV)
112:1. Praise the LORD! Blessed [is] the man [who] fears the LORD, [who] delights greatly in His commandments.
112:2. His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed.
112:3. Wealth and riches [will be] in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
112:4. Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
112:5. A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion.
112:6. Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
112:7. He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
112:8. His heart [is] established; He will not be afraid until he sees [his desire] upon his enemies.
112:9. He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor.
112:10. The wicked will see [it] and be grieved; He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
STUDY:
Different people define blessedness in different ways. Some understand blessedness to mean great acquisition of earthly treasure (1 Tim. 6:5), and the pursuit of it is the genesis of all kinds of evil seen in our society (1 Tim. 6:9-10). To be wealthy is not forbidden, but the worship of wealth is prohibited (Matt. 6:19-21; Luke 12:19-21).
Today’s passage reveals that real blessedness is the fear of God. A man blessed by God has mighty descendants, wealth and riches, enduring righteousness, compassion, lends to the poor, and steadfastly trusts the Lord, but the desires of the wicked shall perish. Psalm 111:10 says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. This is why the Lord referred to the rich man in Luke 12:20-21 as a fool because he lacked the fear of God.
On the contrary, the man who fears and obeys God has many more blessings following him (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). Do you want God to bless you? Then you must develop a personal relationship with Him by accepting Christ into your life by faith and maintain this relationship by having a personal, disciplined daily devotion where you read, study, memorize, meditate, and obey His Word.
PRAYER:
Oh Lord, teach me to fear and obey you now and always. Amen.
CONCLUSION:
Real blessings come when we live in the fear of the Lord and follow His ways. It’s not just about having money or possessions, but about having a heart that loves and trusts God. A person who fears the Lord will see their family blessed, their life filled with peace, and their needs provided for. They won’t be shaken by bad news because they know that God is in control. On the other hand, those who live wickedly, no matter what they gain, will see their hopes vanish.
If you truly want God’s blessings in your life, it starts with a close relationship with Him. This means accepting Jesus into your life and making time every day to read, understand, and follow His Word. When we live this way, blessings of peace, joy, and provision will naturally follow.
So, today, let’s make the decision to fear the Lord, trust Him with all our hearts, and obey Him in everything we do. That’s the path to real blessings, both in this life and the life to come.
