Keep Seeking Jah's Righteousness Whoever Pursues Righteousness Will Find Life Righteousness = Uprightness, Honesty and Moral Standing. Matthew 6:33 Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you Proverbs 21:21 Whoever pursues righteousness and loyal love Will find life, righteousness, and glory We need to seek Jehovah's righteousness and not our own Jehovah God sets the standards not us. How can we set moral standards that will save us when we are just imperfect mankind steeped in the corruption of satan's rebellion. Jah's standards put no hardship on us. Isaiah 48:17 This is what Jehovah says, your Repurchaser, the Holy One of Israel: “I, Jehovah, am your God, The One teaching you to benefit yourself, The One guiding you in the way you should walk Of ourselves, we cannot handle the knowledge of bad. We have 6000 years of proof of mans inhumanity to man Ecclesiastes 8:9 All of this I have seen, and I applied my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, during the time that man has dominated man to his harm Jeremiah 10:23 23 I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step Righteousness can also be translated as accurate. Accuracy = true Rightly Jehovah tells us to use balanced scales Leviticus 19:35+36 You must not use dishonest standards in measuring length, weight, or volume. You should use accurate scales, accurate weights, an accurate dry measure, and an accurate liquid measure. I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt This can also be metaphorical in our day to day dealings with people. We must be honest in all things. Remembering that if we are righteous in the small things we will be righteous in the big things. Imagine if Jehovah used unbalanced scales in His judgements!!! Can you even imagine that? No! God is incapable of telling lies. He chose that for Himself and never even gives consideration of the bad. Righteousness, in this satan world, takes effort on our part We must pursue righteousness. We need firstly, to cultivate loyal love for God and our reward of peace, happiness and mercy now and salvation and life in the future is like an added bonus to us. Don't confuse freedom of choice with what is good in God's eyes. We have the freedom to choose, it is a gift from God, but it behooves us to keep Jehovah's standards in mind when we make decisions. We want to be approved in God's sight. How can we apply God's standards to our decision making if we do not put forward the effort to study and learn what those standards are. We need to be continually learning of Jah so that His standards are 'in our hearts'. Soaked deep into our very being. We cannot apply what we do not know. Isaiah 5:20+21 Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good, Those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those wise in their own eyes And discreet in their own sight! We have to take the stand for what is right by Jah's standards There is no use twisting issues and justifying ourselves, trying to duck our responsibilities. What is the point of being materially prosperous but being spiritually bankrupt. Our struggle in this life to live to Jah's righteousness in not in vain If we pursue righteousnes we pursue life. Psalm 37:25-29 I was once young and now I am old, But I have not seen anyone righteous abandoned, Nor his looking for bread. He always lends freely, And his are in line for a blessing. Turn away from bad and do what is good, And you will remain forever. For Jehovah loves justice, And he will not abandon his loyal ones. They will always be guarded; But the descendants of the wicked will be done away with. The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some spiritual 'meat' for digesting. Yours, Katidid. |
