Coming from the wisdom of King David, the psalmist, this Psalm exceeds all we ever knew of the Lord. Clearly, God's ways are not our ways: Blessed is the one who scatters and does not hoard things. Secure are the ones who give away. Vexed is the one who sees all this kindness and rebels against the giving preferring the living. Go figure?Psalm 112
Praise the Lord.
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who finds great delight in his commands . . .
Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely,
who conducts his affairs with justice.
Surely he will never be shaken;
a righteous man will be remembered forever.
He will have no fear of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
His heart is secure, he will have no fear;
in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor,
his righteousness endures forever;
his house will be lifted high in honor.
The wicked man will see and be vexed,
he will gnash his teeth and waste away;
the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.

"Clearly, God's ways are not our ways: Blessed is the one who scatters and does not hoard things." Truer words you won't find on the internet. There's a really animated debate that I thought would be of interest on evolution vs. intelligent design going on at http://www.intelligentdesignfacts.com
