Psalm 112:1 - Fact, Faith, or Feeling?

Psalm 112:1 (NKJV) Praise the LORD! Blessed 
is the man who fears the LORD, Who delights 
greatly in His commandments.  

Psalm 112:1 (NLT) Praise the LORD! How 
joyful are those who fear the LORD and delight in 
obeying his commands.  

INTRODUCTION

Many blessings are available to us - honor, 
prosperity, security, freedom from fear (112:2-9) - if 
we 'fear' the Lord and 'delight' in obeying his 
commands. If you expect God's blessings, you must 
revere him and gladly obey him. [Life Application 
SB] 

COMMENTARY PEARL

FEELING
   When I understand something of Christ's 
love for me as a sinner, I respond with a love 
for Christ - and love has feeling. But love for 
Christ is above human love, though there is a 
similarity. It is a love that frees us from self. 
   In marriage there is commitment. There is 
also feeling. But feelings come and go. 
Commitment stays. We who have committed ourselves to 
Christ have feelings that come and go - joy, love, 
gratitude, and so on. But the commitment remains 
unchanged. 
  It is not the feeling of boldness and 
confidence that saves us, but it is our faith in God 
that saves us through His forgiveness. Boldness 
and confidence result from our having trusted in 
Christ. From Genesis to Revelation we are told to 
fear the Lord. It is the fear of the Lord that 
puts all other fears in proper perspective. 
   Which of the three words - fact, faith, 
and feeling - do you rely on the most? [Peace 
for Each Day by Billy Graham]
