Psalm 112:1,2,3

Praise ye the LORD, Blessed is the man who feareth the LORD, who delighteth greatly in His commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endureth forever.

There is a very practical application of this verse, one which will be true in every generation and in every situation; be honest, truthful and upright in all you do. The bottom line is the fear of the LORD. Do you want to please the LORD? Do you prefer to do the LORD'S work in the LORD'S way or do you prefer to please people and manipulate situations, so that people will approve of you? You have a choice; who will you serve - GOD or man.

These verses tell us the path of GOD'S blessing, which brings prosperity.

1. The fear of the LORD.

2. Delight greatly in His commandments.

Where do we find the clear commandments of the LORD? In His Holy Scripture and through a discipline of prayer. Prayer and study of GOD'S Word build a relationship between the LORD and you. In that relationship there will be an exchange of understanding - He understands you and you understand Him and His ways. His ways are always true, trustworthy and righteous. Then, when you follow Him, you and your family will prosper in every way, including, wealth, riches and long life.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom and understanding.
