This is such a simple concept to understand that it\u2019s shocking that more people can\u2019t grasp it! When you acknowledge the Almighty Creator of all things, who is the Just Judge of the universe and the Supreme Lawgiver and you seek him, serve him with reverence and live by his rules, it all stands to reason that you\u2019ll reap some benefits. The blessings resulting therefrom are incalculable; the psalmist lists a few of them in the following verses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 2\u2014His descendants will be mighty upon the earth.<\/strong> The&nbsp; Hebrew word for <em>mighty <\/em>is <em>gibbor<\/em> meaning \u201cpowerful; by implication warrior, or champion, chief, giant, mighty, strong (man), valiant.\u201d When we think of the concept of mighty, we mustn\u2019t fall into the trap of defining mighty as the world defines it, which usually involves money, power and fame. One can be <em>gibbor<\/em> in YHVH\u2019s sight and not possess those attributes that society requires for one to be considered \u201cgreat\u201d or \u201cmighty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 3\u2014He will possess wealth and riches.<\/strong> <em>Wealth<\/em> is the Hebrew word <em>hon <\/em>meaning \u201cenough.\u201d Therefore, the Bible defines wealth as having enough. How does one define enough? How many people on earth don\u2019t have enough? What are our needs versus or wants? If our needs are met, then we have enough. If we have more than that, then we have an over abundance and are truly wealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 3\u2014His righteousness endures forever.<\/strong> What does this mean? This can be taken to mean several things. First, his righteousness endures through is posterity because he has raise his children in the fear of Elohim, and they in turn pass these values on to their children and so on. Second, as salt and light, he has also influenced the world around him make it a more positively and a better place. Like a pebble dropped into a lake, the ripples of his actions will reach out and touch many lives for years to come. Third, the righteous man has the hope of eternal life, therefore, both he and he will live forever before Elohim because he fears Elohim in righteousness. What is righteousness? It is adherence to the commandments of Elohim (Ps 119:172) and delighting in said commandments (Ps&nbsp; 112:1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 4\u2014Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness.<\/strong> This is a huge promised blessing! The righteous man will be given divine revelation as to what to do and where to go when those around him are walking cluelessly in confusion and darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 5\u2014He deals graciously and lends.<\/strong> He is so blessed of YHVH that his cup overflows and he is a blessing to those around him. Most people are takers because they\u2019re in survival mode and they haven\u2019t enough left over to be a blessing to others. On the other hand, those who fear Elohim find themselves in his blessed river of life and the blessings therefrom overflow onto others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 5\u2014He will guide his affairs with discretion.<\/strong> <em>Discretion<\/em> is the Hebrew word <em>misphat<\/em> meaning \u201ca verdict (favorable or unfavorable) pronounced judicially, especially a sentence or formal decree, determination, discretion, to be judged.\u201d This means that he will be able to rightly discern between right and wrong and make proper judgments when facing life\u2019s uncertainties; he will know what to do and when to do it, thus ensuring that he will always make the right decision, which leads to good results and blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 6\u2014He shall never be shaken.<\/strong> This is because the righteous man is standing on the solid rock of YHVH Elohim and his Word or Truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 6\u2014The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.<\/strong> His legacy will live on after his death both on earth and in heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 7\u2014He will not be afraid of evil tidings.<\/strong> Why is this? Because his heart is steadfast trusting in Elohim. This is because he is on the right side of Elohim, therefore, heaven is on his side. What is there to be afraid of? If Elohim be for us who can be against us (Rom 87:31)?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 9\u2014His horn will exalted with honor. <\/strong>This is the ultimate and highest blessing of the man who fears Elohim and delights in his commandments. Power and honor will be his, and not as men define these terms, but has heaven defines them,which are true and everlasting power and honer!<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Seek Elohim and Be Blessed!',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2020\/02\/07\/seek-elohim-and-be-blessed\/',contentID: 'post-16320',suggestTags: 'Blessings,Seek Elohim,Seek God',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psalm 112:1, Blessed is the man.
