11 October 2010 - Psalm 112 :1-9

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord
Who finds great delight in His” Word
The generation of the upright will be blessed
Wealth and riches...in his house” will nest
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright
For the man who is gracious and contrite
Good will come to him who is generous” and freely gives
Who with justice conducts his affairs and lives
Surely he will…be shaken” never
A righteous man will be remembered forever
He will have no fear of bad news” or a sword
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord
His heart is secure, he will have no fear
He will look in triumph on his foes” far and near
He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor
His righteousness endures forever” more

This is a very appropriate text
As an offertory this Sunday or next
Generosity and compassion are traits
That our God above highly rates
We should not focus on self but on others
In that way, we encourage Christian brothers
