April 19 - Psalm 112 · A Chapter a Day Bible Reading

• 0:12
  Hello friends. It's shown here.
• 0:15
  It is Friday. It is the end of another week.
• 0:18
  Well done to you. What a week.
• 0:21
  It may well have been for you. For me.
• 0:23
  I've had the week off work. It's been glorious.
• 0:25
  So if you have been a productive human being, thanks for making
• 0:30
  the world go round. I have appreciated not
• 0:33
  participating in the busy, productive world that we live
• 0:37
  in. But work or not, we have reached
• 0:40
  the end. Friday it is, and we shall read
• 0:43
  Assam together. And last week, Psalm 111 was an
• 0:47
  acrostic poem from Hebrew with those 10 phrases of praise.
• 0:51
  And today is another one. This is the second in the set of
• 0:55
  two a sign of praise. Because frankly, one poem of
• 1:00
  praise is never going to be enough.
• 1:01
  So here we are with the second one, and it is a glorious one.
• 1:05
  It is only 10 phrases. So we will read them together,
• 1:08
  and we will praise the Lord together.
• 1:11
  Let's do it, friends. Let's read together some 112
• 1:25
  Praise the Lord. How joyful are those who fear
• 1:30
  the Lord and delight in obeying His commands.
• 1:34
  Their children will be successful everywhere.
• 1:37
  An entire generation of godly people will be blessed.
• 1:42
  They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last
• 1:46
  forever. Light shines in the darkness for
• 1:50
  the godly. They are generous,
• 1:52
  compassionate, and righteous. Good comes to those who lend
• 1:57
  money generously and conduct their business fairly.
• 2:02
  Such people will not be overcome by evil.
• 2:05
  Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
• 2:09
  They do not fear bad news. They confidently trust the Lord
• 2:13
  to care for them. They are confident and fearless
• 2:17
  and can face their foes triumphantly.
• 2:21
  They share freely and give generously to those in need.
• 2:24
  Their good deeds will be remembered forever.
• 2:27
  They will have influence and honour.
• 2:30
  The wicked will see this and be infuriated.
• 2:34
  They will grind their teeth in anger.
• 2:36
  They will slink away their hopes thwarted,
• 2:51
  Praise you. Indeed, our Lord, You are worthy
• 2:56
  of all praise. May our hearts delight in you,
• 3:01
  not delight in all the things that are around us, the things
• 3:04
  that make us feel comfortable, the things that bring us
• 3:07
  transient joy. But here you tell us that joy
• 3:11
  comes from fearing you, from loving you, from recognising you
• 3:16
  in the central place in our lives.
• 3:19
  And so we do that, our mighty and glorious God, we praise you
• 3:25
  and plant you deeply in the centre of our lives, that your
• 3:29
  roots may grow deeply through us, and that all praise will
• 3:34
  flow back to you for every good thing in our lives.
• 3:39
  And for them we thank you, and we give you the glory, our
• 3:45
  praiseworthy God. And it's all these things that
• 3:50
  we can pray in the glorious name of Jesus.
• 3:54
  Ah man.
