Pastor's August 2026 Letter
In verse six the end result of the Lord being our Shepherd is “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives.” “Goodness” refers to blessings. “Mercy” refers to forgiveness. Finally “we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
This last verse is the only one that refers to heaven – our eternal home.
Dear Beloved of Faith Family Fellowship,
Greetings in the Name of the Lord. We are continuing our study of the 112th Psalm. We looked at the four categories of this Psalm. We closed out last month with verses 2-6 and the benefits we have as the righteous.
In verses four it says, “unto the upright there arises light in the darkness.” This refers to the guidance of God in his life. He is gracious, full of compassion and righteous. This speaks of the practical daily outworking of the righteous. This speaks of the practical daily outworking of the righteous man’s relationship with God. Verse five says that the good man shows favor (grace) and lends (financial affairs). He guides him through the affairs of life with discretion (good judgment).
In verses 6-8 is a description of a man who is not moved. He has stability in his life and relationship with God. His life is in everlasting remembrance. This means he leaves a legacy of a godly life. In verse seven this man is not afraid of evil tidings (bad news). Why? Because his heart is fixed (firm and stable) trusting in the Lord. In verse eight his heart is established nine we see the character of the righteous the futility of a life that is lived without God.
As you meditate on Psalm 112 allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the blessed life of the righteous and see yourself as that righteous one who reverently fears and worships the Lord and delights greatly in His commandments. You will enjoy every blessing God has provided for you!
If there ever has been a time that we as the righteous people of God must have our hearts established and fixed in God’s word it is now. We need not allow the fears in the world to overtake our souls but as we delight ourselves in the presence of God and in the Word of God we will become stable and secure and rest ourselves on God’s promise to be our everything --- everything we need Him to be to us in our lives.
As we apply these five words in our daily lives we will grow in the assurance of all God is to us and desires to be to us.

1. A refreshing and renewing of His Spirit and Word.
Through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ He has become our Shepherd—Lord on a personal level. Everything we could ever need or desire has already been provided for us in Him. He is everything we need Him to be to us. Our redemption in Him has made sure of that. That is why it is important that we as His sheep not just try to know the Psalm. We must come to know the Shepherd in the Psalm. For it is in knowing intimately the Shepherd in Psalm 23 that we begin to understand the fullness of our redemption and all that God has made available to us in Christ. As you meditate on Psalm 23 allow the Holy Spirit to bring it alive to you in your heart. Let Him reveal to you all that the Shepherd is to you and all that you are to the Shepherd as His sheep. It will transform your thinking and change your life.
