The Qualifications
“Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments!” Psalm112:1
There’s nothing we can do to earn God’s love, however, if we want to experience His blessings we need to observe the qualifications that He has given us in His Word.
Psalm 112 details a whole list of blessings, and you should read it for yourself and appropriate them, but the key to receiving them is in verse 1.
Blessed is the man that fears – puts his trust, honours the Lord, and delights greatly in His commandments, taking pleasure in what God says and obeying Him
Adopt that attitude toward Him and be assured, blessings are on the way!
Your offspring will be mighty on the earth – verse 2
wealth and riches shall be in your house – verse 3
even in darkness, the light shall shine on you – verse 4
you shall not be shaken – verse 6
In the midst of evil, you will have no fear of bad news because your heart is set upon Him – verse 7.
I know that like me, you also want to live in the blessings of God. To do this, we have to live a life that God will bless, honouring the Lord with our whole heart, and delighting in obeying Him always!
