“Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments!” Psalm 112:1

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’s given us in His Word.

Psalm 112 details a whole list of blessings, but the key to receiving them is verse 1.

“Blessed is the man that fears (puts his trust in, honours) the Lord, and delights greatly in His commandments. (Takes pleasure in what God says and obeys Him).”

Adopt that attitude toward Him and be assured that blessings are on the way!

Your offspring will be mighty on the earth (vs 2), wealth and riches shall be in your house (vs 3), even in darkness the light shall shine on you (vs 4), you shall not be shaken (vs 6) in the midst of evil you will have no fear of bad news because your heart is set upon Him (vs 7).

Now I don’t know about you, but I want to live in the blessings of God!

It is wise to live a life that God will bless, and to honour the Lord with our whole heart, and delight in obeying Him!
