The generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
A good man deals graciously and lends;
He will guide his affairs with discretion.
Surely he will never be shaken;
The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. (Psalm 112:2-7)
I want to be that guy! Wouldn’t you like to be a blessing (and be blessed) like this person is? To be gracious, compassionate, and righteous? To be steadfast in faith and trust?
This beautiful description of a righteous man is not a myth – this is attainable by you, by me, by anyone. The obvious question then is: how? And the answer is quite simple and obvious, as well. The answer is found in verse 1.
Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments. (Psalm 112:1)
Praise God + Fear God + Delight in His Word = Be Blessed + Be Righteous + Be Steadfast
What a great formula for success!
