Psalm 112 is a song about a happy kind of person - someone who loves God and loves doing good. It tells you what that good life looks like.
Today's Story
Let's draw a picture with words. Picture a person who loves God with their whole heart.
What are they like?
The song says they are happy. “Blessed is the person who has respect for the Lord,” it begins. They love to do what God says, the way you love a game you can't wait to play.
This person is generous. When someone is hungry, they share. When someone needs help, they help. The song says, “They give freely to those who are poor.” Their hands are always open.
And here is the surprising part. This person is not scared. Even when bad news comes, they don't panic. The song says, “Their hearts are secure. They aren't afraid.” Why not? Because they trust God to take care of them.
So they are steady. Like a strong little house that stands firm when the wind blows. Kind hands, brave heart, and a smile that other people remember for a long, long time.
That's the kind of person this song is cheering for. And with God's help, that can be you.
