Many blessings are available to us; honor, prosperity, security, freedom from fear (Psa 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.
Psalms 112:5
Generosity can cure two problems that having money can create. The rich person may abuse others in the desire to accumulate wealth. Generosity will eliminate that abuse. Also, the fear of losing money can be a snare. Generosity shows that we have placed our trust in God, not in our money, for justice and security.
Psalms 112:7-8
We all want to live without fear; our heroes are fearless people who take on all dangers and overcome them. The writer teaches us that fear of God can lead to a fearless life. To fear God means to respect and revere him as the almighty Lord. When we trust God completely to take care of us, we will find that our other fears, even of death itself, will subside.
