Year 5, Day 242: Psalms 112

Theological Commentary: Click Here


Discipleship Focus: Capacity

  • Capacity asks whether or not the person has the time in their life to obey God.
As we look at this psalm, we continue in a great line of thinking that we’ve developed since starting psalm 109.  The human condition means that we call upon the Lord for protection.  He responds.  He does protect us.  He lifts us up.  He is King.  He enters into our life and changes who we are.  This leads us today’s psalm.  Blessed is the one who fears the Lord.

Blessed is the one who asks the Lord to make him more like Him.  Blessed is the one whose life is changed by God.  Blessed is the one for whom God makes a difference in their life.  Blessed is the one who lives with a perspective that is from God ad not from their humanity.

Such a person has the capacity to be kind.  Such a person has a capacity to be generous.  Such a person has a capacity to be wise.  Such a person has the capacity to be light in a dark world.
