Hey family! All of you still reading a-Psalm-a-day rite? So you all should know what i'm going to share on Psalm 112. Right..? Haha..

What i took away from the Psalm112 is that with the fear of the Lord, victory and a righteous walk with the Lord is assured.

2 His children will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. [c]

5 Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely,
who conducts his affairs with justice.

6 Surely he will never be shaken;
a righteous man will be remembered forever.

7 He will have no fear of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear;
in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.

9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor,
his righteousness endures forever;
his horn [d] will be lifted high in honor.

The above promises follow when God's Word is your right-hand man. Basically for me as a councillor, it is very important that I have the fear of the Lord(well, everybody should have it regardless of what position you're in as long as you're a Christian) cos if i do not "conducts his affairs with justice", i will not be seen as a councillor. Leadership is influence! :D

As for us as warriors of light, v7 would probably have spoken to you too. To me, i do admit that bad news scares me the most. Whenever given a choice to have the good news first or bad news first, we'd choose bad news first cos we want to "get it over and done with". In actual fact, we're just scared in our hearts. Thinking that the good news dat follow will be able to replace the fear in us after hearing the bad news. But God wants us to be "steadfast, trusting in the Lord". And surely, "Even in darkness light dawns for the upright"! Amen! :D

God Bless!
Daniel :D
