Righteousness Produces Great Joy

 

God has a great  name.

When you allow him to lead you, you give obeisance to his great name. 

Psalms 23:3

3. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake

Romans 10:5-8

5For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above ) 7Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, evenin thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

 

Psalms 84: 11

11. For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly

Matthew 5:6

6. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Matthew 6:32

33. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Psalms 92:12-15

12. The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15. To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

It’s not time to think about stopping. ❤️❤️😮

 

Hebrews 1:8

8. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

 

Good works and being a faithful steward of the mysteries of God are commendable and have their reward. But not by themselves outside of Faith. Develop at this time a greater faith in the God who does miracles, the God who opens the eyes of the blind, the God who is calling you to a closer walk with him. And be declared by God to walk in righteousness.

Philippians 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

 

Psalm 37:4-11 King James Version (KJV)

 

4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

 

Hosea 10:12

12. Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he comes and rains righteousness upon you.

2 Corinthians 5:21

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Once again, a brief synopsis of righteousness is believing God enough to act on what he says. 

Romans 1:17

17. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
