Psalm 112 and so on

So i have a massive!!! headache i think from detoxing...ie trying to eat healthy after 10 days of eating crap...

We also had a quite stressful playgroup this morning and my hurting head isnt helping!!

So here is a centering Psalm
Ps 112
' Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious compassionate and righteous man' ( or even better 'Even in the darkness light dawns for the lord is gracious compassionate and righteous! - textual variant with better theology :) )

Why do many of the psalms sound a bit like a prosperity gospel - follow god and he will give you every good thing....i think in the old testament gods grace to his people was much more national and physical - if the followed him he would give them the land and bless it, but if not exile....but we know that now Jesus is the heart of obedience to GOd and what he asks is a life transformed and what he offers is better than good crops, its a life filled with the holy spirit and a firm future.

Ps 113
Is a psalm of thanksgiving to God who gives all he is the powerful one! so praise him

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the lord is to be praised.
