“Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, Who delights greatly in His commandments…Wealth and riches will be in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous” Psalms‬ ‭112‬:‭1‬ & 3-4, NKJV.

As men, we are blessed by the things we don’t think about. A man is blessed simply because he delights in God’s way and what He says. A man is blessed by maintaining his character, even in hard times. A man is admired when he loves his wife and makes sacrifices for her. A man is blessed when he’s submitted to waiting on God to open the door and not rushing to create his own. He honors God and God touches someone’s heart to honor the faithfulness in him that He sees. He’s blessed when he humbles himself and God exalts him. He’s blessed when he’s compassionate and gives.

In these times, the devil wants you to shrink back and buckle under pressure. Yet, be encouraged to stay strong. No matter what it looks like, a strong man will always be a blessed man. You will bear great fruit.

Prayer: Father, I praise you. Let me never forget what causes me to be blessed, what causes me to be happy and admirable. It’s staying strong in Christ. Since I do, I will always end up increasing, favored, and provided for. Help me to not rush, but stay strong in patience these times. Make
me an example and bear great fruit because I have put my trust in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
