Are You Pursuing Righteousness and Kindness?

Are You Pursuing Righteousness and Kindness?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who pursue righteousness and kindness. In Jesus’s name amen.

Righteousness has many synonyms: virtue, morality, justice, decency, uprightness, rectitude, honesty, and blamelessness.

According to Christianity.com,
“Righteousness is an attribute that belongs to God, the Lawgiver, and is manifested in His laws. No man can be justified by his own works apart from God’s ordinance. Therefore, righteousness is a wonderful gift from God to humanity through his love: it is the God-given quality imputed to man upon believing in the Son of God.”
That is Jesus Christ.

Psalm 21:21 (ESV) is about those who pursue righteousness and kindness.

“Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life, righteousness, and honor.”

Life everlasting awaits those who believe in the Son of God. Have you been waiting to put your trust in him? Don’t delay.

Cast Into Fire?

Cast Into Fire?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who shall give thanks to your name. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Often evil people gather to carry out their sinister plans.

Psalm 140:9-13 (ESV) starts off referencing a leader of enemy forces who is trying to destroy the psalmist.

“As for the head of those who surround me,
let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
Let burning coals fall upon them!
Let them be cast into fire,
into miry pits, no more to rise!
Let not the slanderer be established in the land;
let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!

I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and will execute justice for the needy.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name;
the upright shall dwell in your presence.”

God can surely destroy our enemies. Let believers give thanks for their deliverance. God is working behind the scenes, so we often do not know what evil has been defeated before it ever reaches us. Praise God.

Slow to Anger?

Slow to Anger?

Dear Lord, I pray for those know the Lord is slow to anger, merciful, and gracious. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Ever give thought to how slow God is to anger? God could react swiftly to sinful behavior without giving a chance for sinners to repent and turn away from their sin.

Psalm 103:6-10 (ESV) portrays God’s justice, mercy, and grace. The verses also show him as slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

“The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.”

Are you harboring some secret sin? Reading these verses, are you inclined to change some aspect of your life? Then take action. Do not delay.
