Monday
Read Psalm 112:1-10
Praise the Lord!
Happy is the
person who honours the Lord,
who takes
pleasure in obeying his commands.
2The
good man’s children will be powerful in the land;
his descendants
will be blessed.
3His
family will be wealthy and rich,
and he will
be prosperous for ever.
4Light
shines in the darkness for good people,
for those who
are merciful, kind, and just.
5Happy
is the person who is generous with his loans,
who runs his
business honestly.
6A
good person will never fail;
he will
always be remembered.
7He is
not afraid of receiving bad news;
his faith is
strong, and he trusts in the Lord.
8He
is not worried or afraid;
he is certain
to see his enemies defeated.
9He
gives generously to the needy,
and his
kindness never fails;
he will be
powerful and respected.
10The
wicked see this and are angry;
they glare in
hate and disappear;
their hopes
are gone for ever.
Think
The desire of the wicked comes to nothing (Verse 10). On the other hand, the righteous shine like
lights in the darkness. Every day, every
moment, we must choose righteousness, light - as difficult as it might be - it
is always the pathway to joy.
Pray
Lord, in a world that often seems mad with anger and bitterness let my
light shine. When it is dim - shine your
light on to me so that I might reflect you.
