April 15th - Psalm 112:7 Meditate/Memorize

America was founded on Christian principles. As I view the changes in our government I feel great concern for our nation. Unfortunately 99.9 percent of the time the media gives nothing but disturbing news and we should know some, but there is no balance of the good that is happening as well.

I have selected Psalm 112:7-8 to meditate on. I plan to meditate and memorize verse 7 immediately. On May 1st, I will focus on memorizing verse 8.

Psalm 112 begins speaking about man/woman therefore I have taken license as I memorize.

Psalm 112:7 (NIV)
7 He/She(Sylvia) will have no fear of bad news;
his/her heart is steadfast, TRUSTING in the LORD.


This is a rather brief Psalm, let me share with you from the New International Version.

Psalm 112
1 Praise the LORD.
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
who finds great delight in his commands.

2 His children will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.

5 Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely,
who conducts his affairs with justice.

6 Surely he will never be shaken;
a righteous man will be remembered forever.

7 He will have no fear of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear;
in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.


9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor,
his righteousness endures forever;
his horn will be lifted high in honor.

10 The wicked man will see and be vexed,
he will gnash his teeth and waste away;
the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.

Please take time and give a comment below. Also if you have a verse you are meditating on or memorizing please share with me.

Grace and Peace for a Song I must Sing of Trusting in the LORD.

  1. Sylvia,
    This is a personal favorite of mine. I have been focused on this particular Psalm over the past week. God drives His messages home in so many ways, don't we know?
    Love you,
    Belinda
