V.1-6 Our hearts should be filled with praise as we remember that the Lord Jesus, so despised and unwanted, now is in a place of honor and majesty.
V.7 It is good to remember that even the work of His hands, that we see all around us, should make us praise Him. Five verses speak of the Works of the Lord.
V.10 How we need to remember this! The schools today teach man’s wisdom, not the wisdom which comes from God through the Bible. Read verse 5 and 10 together. We aren’t afraid of the Lord, but notice what the “fear” of Him produces.
Psalm 112
V.1 Not only is the fear of the Lord the beginning of wisdom, but the person who walks in this fear is blessed of the Lord. The Lord Jesus Himself would do nothing that was not for the glory of God.
V.2-3 Always remember that the promises of rewards for obeying the Lord, in the Old Testament days, were riches and things, whereas today, for us, they are the enjoyment of our spiritual blessings in Christ.
V.7 Are we afraid of evil tidings — bad news? If we are, it is because we are not completely trusting in the Lord. We may be trusting Him for salvation, but we should trust Him also every day of our lives, for He is caring for us.
V.9 Daily walking with the Lord does not make us selfish, but it does make us want to help others. Notice how long that person’s righteousness lasts!
