Righteousness Produces Great Joy

 

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.

James 5:16b,17

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Luke 12:15 – A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions

Romans 14:17 King James Version (KJV)

17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost
