The Lord Will

Psalm 112:2

β€œHis seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 112

Meaning

This is wisdom-poetry about the social reach of a righteous life, not a guarantee that every child of a faithful parent will prosper in identical ways.

Reverence and the stability of the household

The opening describes delight in God's commands and wisdom-poetry images of enduring blessing.

Read carefully

The verse is wisdom-poetry, not a deterministic promise overriding agency, circumstance, or suffering.

Reflection

Invest in justice, truth, care, and example rather than trying to control children's outcomes.
