Psalm 112:5–6 (ESV): “5 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice. 6 For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever.”
Generosity and kindness belong to God. How appropriate it is for those who represent Him to act in the same way! God is good to us so that we can be good to others.
The psalmist paints a glorious picture of the nature and character of our God. He is always good to us. This is to serve as a reminder to us that we are to reflect Him in in daily lives. Just as He has freely given to us with great generosity, we too should give freely. Just as He has lent to us with integrity, so too must we lend in the same manner. Everything we do should reflect our great God. A person who lives this way will not be moved by circumstances and will leave a legacy that will be remembered.
Are you living in such a way that reflects the nature and character of our God? The Lord desires to shine His glorious light through you and me. He wants to show generosity and deal kindly with those who don’t deserve it. We are to be a reflection of Him in this world. If we live this way, not only will we be immovable, but we will also be remembered forever. God is seeking loyal hearts through whom He can show Himself strong (2 Chron. 16:9). I say we give Him an opportunity to shine through us today. Amen?
Father, we thank You for being generous and dealing kindly with us. We desire to reflect Your character and nature daily. We yield ourselves to You now so that You can show Yourself strong through us. Do it, Lord, we pray, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
