Morning Devotion

Psalm 112

The Blessed State of the Righteous

1 Praise the LORD!

Blessed is the man 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.




Today i went for morning devotion for the first time and I am really blessed. Was praying about some worries i had and God really encouraged me with Ps 112. I will hold on to the vision You have for me. For your love and righteousness endures forever.


I must start learning guitar again. I guess the 2 things that i got out of my devotion is that God affirm His word once again and i should start learning guitar.


Sacrifces involve pain.It is not a sacrifice without pain. Faith is not believing that everything will be alright but despite that things are not alright, you trust God that it is His will that He allows such things to happen so that a greater purpose and His plan can be fulfilled.
