Praise the Lord. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands. His children will be mighty in the land; each generation of the upright will be
blessed. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. Good will
come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice. Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever.
He will have not fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes. He has scattered abroad his gifts to
the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor. The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
*************** "Blessed is the man." This man fears the Lord and delights in His Word. He is gracious and full of compassion and righteous. He shows favor and lends. He conducts his affairs with
justice. He is not moved. "He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord." This man trusts in the Word of his God. His heart is established in the covenant. He fears no
evil. He is generous and has given to the poor. He has given and it shall be given to him--good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. The Word does not say that his children possibly
would be mighty in the land; it says that his children "will" be mighty. The Word does not say that wealth and riches might be in his house; it says wealth and riches "will" be in his house! "His
righteousness endures forever; his horne will be lifted high in honor." Righteousness, riches, and honor are his to enjoy because he delights in the Word of his God. Satan will see the blessing of God on this man and
be grieved because he can do nothing to alter God's covenant. The desire of the wicked shall perish. Satan cannot stop the blessing of Abraham from being established in this man's life. When you are obedient to the
Word of God, nothing can stop wealth and riches from being in your house--except you. If you will not accept prosperity, God will not perform beyond what you are willing to receive. But if you are willing and obedient, you
"shall" eat the good of the land!
