The Blessings of the Just
Blessed the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commands. His descendants shall be mighty in the land, a generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house, his righteousness shall endure forever.
Light shines through the darkness for the upright, gracious, compassionate and righteous.
It is good for the man gracious in lending, who conducts his affairs with justice. For he shall never be shaken, the righteous shall be remembered forever. He shall not fear an ill report, his heart steadfast, trusting the Lord. His heart is tranquil without fear, till at last he looks down on his foes.
Lavishly he gives to the poor, his righteousness shall endure forever, his horn (symbol of vitality) shall be exalted in honor. Psalm 112:1-9
TweetI say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me. John 12:24-26
