Wealth and Riches Are in His House

The Million Dollar Life

By William M. Self, Sr.

The fear of the Lord and Delighting in His Word

Will fill your house with Wealth and Riches

Psalms 112

 

Wealth and Riches Are in His House

Whose house is Psalms 112 talking about?

The house belongs to a person who

fears God and delights in God’s Word.

To fear something is to have

an awareness of not pleasing.

  

Years ago, a wonderful couple invited

Sandy and I to their house for dinner.

They lived a simple life, in a simple house.

They set the table with their very best and watched

over the preparations of food with diligence.

When we arrived, it was clear they were very nervous.

They did not feel worthy to have their pastor in their home.

Their fear was so beautiful it revealed great love and respect.

 Does your love and respect for God bring a healthy fear in your life?

Does it make you pay close attention to every detail in your life?

The person’s house filled with wealth and

riches will also delight in God’s Word.

 God’s Word is truth.

In a world of relativism, where there are no absolutes,

our particular frame of reference can leave us shipwrecked.

  God’s Word is more than a suggestion or thought.

His Word will not return to Him void

because every word is a command.

A command that brings order and blessing to life.

The person who delights in God’s

commands will reap the blessings of life.

If you were to add up the Word of God, you took in each day…

If you were to add up God’s Word like silver and gold…

How wealthy would you be?

Every day you spend words you collected through life.

You do what you do because of something you heard, read or thought.

Words shape your life.

Finding the right word, the word of truth to help you

in your time of need, is not something you want to

 be looking for when life requires a large payment.

 

You want to have God’s Word stored up in your heart

so you will be ready to handle life demands to pay the price.

“Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,

who finds great delight in his commands.

 Wealth and riches are in his house,

and his righteousness endures forever.”
