Psalm 112:1-5 Praise the Lord! How blessed is the one who obeys the Lord, who takes great delight in keeping his commands. His descendants will be powerful on the earth; the godly will be blessed. His house contains wealth and riches; his integrity endures. In the darkness a light shines for the godly, for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just. It goes well for the one who generously lends money, and conducts his business honestly. Living with integrity, conducting affairs with justice, dealing graciously and lending; these are marks of obedience to the Lord, and they are not the only examples. Our obedience to God begins with Jesus Christ, and believing in the One who God the Father has sent to us to restore our relationship with Him. Living this way not only benefits you, but it benefits your children, and the generations to come. What you choose to do every day affects your children, and my prayer is that all would recognize this and be convicted to act accordingly for their benefit in Christ Jesus. This verse does not mean persecution will not come, and it does not promise a trouble-free life. It is a promise of favor, blessing, and that the Lord God is with You always and will work for your good. Verse/Commentary courtesy of Verse-A-Day app. verse-a-day/Apps
