I memorized Psalm 111 and then went to Psalm 112. The last verse in 111 and the first verse in 112 were written about the fear of the Lord. This is what captured my mind. Psalm 111:10 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments…”

Psalm 112:1 says, “…Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments.” Noted are two characteristics attributed to walking in the fear of the Lord. One is that they are doers, and the other is that they are delighting. Both were written about God’s word in an ongoing active sense.

You can read Psalm 112:2-8 for yourself. It outlines the fruitful legacy of the one who walks in the fear of the Lord. Descendants. Generations. We have the opportunity to impact and influence others as we walk in the fear of the Lord.
