December 17: Our God blesses the just and the need.

Psalm 112:1-10:
Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments. His descendants will be mighty on earth; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. A good man deals graciously and lends; he will guide his affairs with discretion. Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. He will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is established; he will not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies. He has dispersed abroad, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be exalted with honor. The wicked will see it and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.

Psalm 113:5-9:
Who is like the Lord our God, who dwells on high, who humbles Himself to behold the things that are in the heavens and in the earth? He raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap, that He may seat him with princes— with the princes of His people. He grants the barren woman a home, like a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord!

Psalm 114:1-8:
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, Judah became His sanctuary, and Israel His dominion. The sea saw it and fled; Jordan turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs. What ails you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back? O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O little hills, like lambs? Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob, who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.


Psalm 112 is very similar to Psalm 15. It is a description of those who live in the path of righteousness, truth, good testimony, integrity and with a strong faith in God.
This person was a good steward and used his resources to wholeheartedly help those in need.
One of the best virtues developed by this person is that he would not fear any evil when he received bad news or when he was in difficult moments because he has always trusted that the Lord would guide and direct him to overcome all those situations.
A beautiful psalm to read periodically and to serve as a model to follow.

Psalm 113 is full of exaltations to the Lord because our God, being so great and powerful, longs to work in a humanity full of defects. I believe that it is because God is love, and He compassionates when He hears the cry of the needy, when He sees the condition of the helpless and does a miracle in them, transforming their life and taking them to places of importance. He also sees the suffering woman and grants her heart's request.
Don't forget to read chapter 113 in its entirety.

Psalm 114 is an account of the time when Israel left Egypt and when they went to the promised land. Specifically when Israel crossed dry in the middle of the Red Sea, and when they crossed the Jordan River unhindered, when God caused the flow to stop for all the people to pass through.
These two supernatural events still amaze scientists and historians.
In the same way, the Lord of Israel is the same today, and He will open the way for you to pass dry, your enemies will be surprised, and those who want to face you will faint!

I am your friend and brother Eduardo Rodríguez. May the Lord hear your prayer and manifest His power in your life.
