Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who want what He commands.
- Psalm 112:1
Psalm 112 links two powerful principles: obedience and praise. One of the most important ways we can praise God is by obeying Him. As believers who have been saved by a risen Christ, we must worship our Creator, not only with our prayers and our word, but also with our actions.
Are you grateful for God's glorious gifts? Are you thankful for the treasure of eternal life that is yours through the sacrifice of God's Son Jesus? Of course you are. And one of the very best ways to express your gratitude to God is through obedience to the unchanging commandments of His Holy Word.

Psalm 112
New Century Version (NCV)
Honest People Are Blessed
Praise the Lord!
Happy are those who respect the Lord,
who want what he commands.
2 Their descendants will be powerful in the land;
the children of honest people will be blessed.
3 Their houses will be full of wealth and riches,
and their goodness will continue forever.
4 A light shines in the dark for honest people,
for those who are merciful and kind and good.
5 It is good to be merciful and generous.
Those who are fair in their business
6 will never be defeated.
Good people will always be remembered.
7 They won’t be afraid of bad news;
their hearts are steady because they trust the Lord.
8 They are confident and will not be afraid;
they will look down on their enemies.
9 They give freely to the poor.
The things they do are right and will continue forever.
They will be given great honor.
10 The wicked will see this and become angry;
they will grind their teeth in anger and then disappear.
The wishes of the wicked will come to nothing.
is our action is a forme of worship?
ReplyDeleteYes. Our actions should be a form a worship. Colossians 3:17 says, "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. In the same chapter, verse 23 says, " Whatever you do, work at it with all you heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. We don't always do what the word tells us to do, which is why it is very important for Christians to renew their minds with God's word. What's in our minds will determine our actions. David says is Psalms to bless the Lord, O my soul, His praise will continuously be in my mouth. The Bible says to be careful for nothing, to keep our minds steadfast on Him.
