Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 112:1-5
This psalm focuses on the identity of a “good man.” He is one who “feareth the LORD” and “delighteth greatly in His commandments.” The “fear of the Lord” is parallel to the “knowledge of the Holy One” (Proverbs 9:10). It is a knowledge that not only believes in Who God is, but responds readily to everything God commands. Hebrews 11:6 says that “without faith it is impossible to please God.” That verse goes on to remind us that when we come to God we must believe that He is, and that He rewards those who “diligently seek” Him.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 5 – “A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
