DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  PSALM 112:1-3

(1)  Praise ye the LORD.  Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
(2)  His seed shall be mighty upon earth:  the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
(3)  Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.


THE LORD WILL PROSPER US!

(1)  Praise ye the LORD.  Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.  Brethren,  (i)  let us give Praises, thanks and adoration to the LORD of hosts everyday;  for it is good to praise him for his goodness and mercies that endures forever and praise is comely.  (Psalm 147:1);  again, his goodness and mercies are renewed every morning, upon both believers and unbelievers the same:  currently, Jesus is not condemning anyone on earth; though there are millions of unbelievers on planet earth, they all partake of his mercies, and they are given several chances everyday to come unto Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior for salvation and eternity; before his second coming, when he will judge the whole world . (Acts 17:31);  (ii)  also, it important that humanity will fear the LORD;  in the past the LORD punished his children right away when they trespassed against him, with punishments of death and humanity feared him greatly, they knew that there were consequences to face when they disobeyed him;  however, today, though we are loved by him, saved from all our iniquities by the blood of Jesus Christ;  at times, we do not take his words seriously and disobey him, because, Jesus Christ, laid down his life once and for all to purchased our lives from immediate condemnations and death; we feel safe in the arms of Jesus Christ, and if we trespass against the LORD, Jesus is our advocate, sitting on right hand of the LORD, to plead for forgiveness on our behalves; when we believe in him, he covers us with his blood from the wrath of the LORD;  however, let our hearts tremble, reverence and worship the LORD of hosts in the beauty of his holiness forever.

(2)  His seed shall be mighty upon earth:  the generation of the upright shall be blessed.  Brethren, what is fear of the LORD?  to fear the LORD is, (i)  the beginning of wisdom......(Psalm 111:10);  (ii)  to be aware of his presence, sovereignty, dominion and give him respect as father of all creation, he is above all, and he is all; (Exodus 3:14);  (iii)  to hate evil; pride, arrogancy;  for it is written, the evil and the froward mouth, I do hate; said the LORD. (Proverbs 8:13);  (iv)  by humility and fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.  (Proverbs 22:4);  (v)  if we fear the LORD, our children will multiply on earth, having great strength, power; and every generation, thereafter, that behaves in an honest way, having high moral standards will receive abundance of blessings from the LORD;  if that is the case,  let us compare works of this generation, to words of the LORD in this context;  are we on right paths to receive everlasting blessings from the LORD?  this is the ponder point for today?

(3)  Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.  Brethren, there are wealth on this planet, but the question is, are they wealth without worries from the LORD? for example, we buy worldly things to satisfy our lustful desires, to fit into societies, statuses, in our secular world; which are fake blessings from our own impulsive behaviors;  as a result, (i)  we worry ourselves on how to manage our pockets books without cash shortages;  (ii)  we work hard with no adequate rests, to maintain those statuses, to pay off debts incurred upon ourselves;  (iii)  we lack innermost peace, there are no contentment within our souls to enjoy our lives to the fullest; though we have all earthly possessions but we ignore those things, without enjoyments because we do not acquire those things really for enjoyments but to position ourselves as wealthy among our piers and so long as we fit in as important souls in the eyes of humanity, we are pleased outwardly;  however, in this context, it is written that if we fear the LORD, delight greatly in his commandments, we will inherit promises of the LORD; and covenanted blessings will be our portions forever; and not only blessings alone, but everyone that feareth the LORD;  is also counted worthy among genuine and excellent believers and will continue to exist for a very longtime.


CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, from today's lesson we learn that if we fear the LORD and delight in his words, we will receive his blessings; therefore, let us reverence him as the LORD of hosts;  give our hearts unto him with fear and trembling; believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior;  come unto him with our labors and heavy laden, let us not think about our past failures or sins, he is not judging anyone now; he cares about our souls; he is waiting to receive us into his arms of salvation, grace, peace and life everlasting.  Amen and Amen!
