Psalm 112:1-10
Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness (Psalm 112:4a).

The conclusion of the story of Naomi and Ruth confirmed that light will come for the upright in God. So, we have hope in our situation too.

I love the Benson Commentary on today’s focal text. It reads thus: “Although he (the upright) may be subject to many of the troubles and calamities of life, as others are, yet they will be far from making him unhappy, for God will give him all the needful support and comfort in the midst of them, sanctifying them to him, and causing them, in many ways, to work together for his good, and in due time will grant him a happy issue out of them; whereas the wicked sink under their burdens, and their present miseries usher in their eternal destruction”.

These thoughts are meant to encourage us not to lose hope but to stand firm in the word of God and expect a change in our situation. We stand in righteousness in Christ Jesus and God will not leave our soul in hell. He did not do it to Jesus; He will not do it to us. See Psalm 16. He will come to our rescue.

Keep these thoughts with you and know that God is working on your case and all things will work together for your good. Rejoice in advance of the good that God will bring of the situation. Shalom.

Your Turn

• Is there any situation you are facing that you think defies God’s help and intervention?
• How willing are you to share your pain and concerns with the Lord? If you are willing then call on Him today.
• Use Matthew 11:28-30 to pray.
