Psalm 112

All of my righteousness comes from Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the one Man who had the true fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom. This fear is the reverent awe of a holy worshiper of God who stands ready to hear and obey God's Word. Jesus greatly delighted in His Father's commandments, and fulfilled them all.

“His offspring will be mighty in the land.” I am counted as a son of God through faith in Him. He has gone to that Jerusalem above, the land of heaven, where all His children are blessed. They are called the generation of the upright in Him.

This great King, Jesus, has title to all the great blessings of heaven. The wealth and riches of earth are fleeting. They come and they go. But the riches of heaven come from righteousness, and His perfect righteousness endures forever.

He dwells in a realm of perfect light. That light dawns every day over my remaining darkness. He sends His gracious and merciful Holy Spirit to the church, and moves us toward the fullest blessings of His great kingdom. He is generous and just in all that He does.

The stability of heaven comes to us through Him. During His days here below, He trusted His Father through every affliction. His heart was steadfast in His great mission, which He fully accomplished on the cross. Now He has become the Source of the good news that we proclaim to the world.

Whatever battle still remains for us here below, He will win the victory for us. He will not be content until the fullness of His heavenly kingdom covers the earth.

I am poor now, but He distributes His blessings freely to the needy. He counts me as His friend.

My desire is for Him, and for the life that He has won. That life will last forever, but the desire of the wicked will perish.
