"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firmly fixed, trusting (leaning on and being confident) in the Lord. His heart is established and steady, he will not be afraid while he waits to see his desire established upon his adversaries.He has distributed freely [he has given to the poor and needy]; his righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) endures forever; his horn shall be exalted in honor." Psalm 112:7-9 (AMP)
What a beautiful depiction of the life of a righteous person. Many people would wrestle with this being them or not, fact is, the bible says that "we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus." (Phil 3:9)
The Psalmist in this passage has a true understanding of what it means to live where you are confident in whom He made us to be. Our focus should never be on our economic situation, sickness, death, or anything meant to bring us fear.
Our mindset should be to see past these obstacles trusting in God, and living as though He will come through for us. If He's never left you before what makes you think He'll leave you now? It's just not going to happen. Look to his character and commit your ways to Him. It is in these moment where you will have the freedom to live generously and have that generosity come back to your life in unprecedented ways.
