Psalm 37:26
26 He is ever [yowm] merciful [chanan], and lendeth [lavah]; and
his seed [zera`] is blessed [B@rakah]. KJV-Interlinear
26 He is ever lending generously, and his
children become a blessing. ESV
He, is a reference
to the spiritually mature believer. And one of the foundation characteristics
of the mature believer is that he is kind, and tolerant, and merciful,
empathetic and sympathetic toward others, without bias or prejudice or
reservation in any way shape or form.
Lend, is a
reference to unselfish generosity.
Seed, is a
reference to both the production of his labor and activities of life, as well
as his children and family.
Those around the
spiritually mature believer are blessed by association.
There are many
benefits of being a spiritually mature believer, but also, many benefits and
blessings flowing to the mature believer, continue on and flow through the
mature believer, such that it affects or has an impact, on others.
This can affect
his family, his employment, his friends or neighbors, and even strangers to
some extent, such as in a nation. Entire nations are blessed when there are
enough Christians within the nation. Prosperity flows to the Christians and
thus to the nation. And even if there are unbelievers within the nation, the
prosperity of an economy provides jobs and opportunity for everyone.
And so the impact
of a single spiritually mature believer can be far-reaching. The impact of a
nation of spiritually mature believers, which has never existed, by the way, would
be phenomenal.
These
studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org,
and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so
already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a
phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever. To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily
study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big
time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to
complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
