Today I’m going to touch on the road to living a righteous life. How does one attain a righteous life style? What does a righteous life look like? Well first of all, let me explain how one obtains a righteous life style. It is not just one thing, in fact it’s two which is twice as much. Ha. The first part of this yoke to righteousness is searching God in scriptures and prayer. The second part is will and want of seeking God, his plan, and his glory. These two parts seem very simple, but they may be the most challenging of the process of sanctification. Without one the other is worthless. These two components HAVE to work together in order to be productive. I cannot stress enough how important this is. When one is not seeking God with an earnest heart, he is just reading the bible as he would a story. When he reads and prays with a heart overjoyed in the grace of God. Enthralled in his glory and wanting to understand him more intimately, he is reading the bible as not only a life style but a spiritual nutrition. Now please stick with me, I know that got a little rough because of stressing this point. I am going to switch our focus onto what a righteous life looks like. This subject right here is so vast that I could make this whole blog purely on just that although right now I just want to explain it simply. Starting, one can tell a righteous person by the way he lives his life. Does his life his life in blamelessness or does he live it in shame? For me I can spot a righteous man in a second by his actions and his verbal and physical physique. Actions, how do actions portray righteousness? The heart of a servant. A righteous man is a servant to God and by being a servant to God he is also a servant to others. Finding his skills and using them for the glory of God. A righteous man lifts his work to God’s glory giving his all with joy. In Proverbs 10:32 it says, “The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouths of the wicked what is perverse.” Now to me that is pretty clear that a righteous person is set apart from a wicked person by his speech. Not only would it be disrespecting God by saying unwholesome words, but in no way does it bring God glory. Now for concluding point, what does physical have to do with righteousness? How do they connect? I will tell you. Physical expressions such as facial expressions can be the fall of a righteous life. How do your facial expressions reflect Christ in you? Do they give off light and joy or do they give off depression and shame? I think these are very important questions that each of us should ask ourselves. If you are reading this I am hoping you are evaluating your hearts. If you want to evaluate your heart look at it from not only your angle, but from the angle that others see it from. Look at your heart from Christ's view. For me, this is very challenging because I express myself instinctively either facially or vocally. It has been my Achilles heel for a very long time. Why? Because it often reflects how disconnected from God I have been. When I am in the word constantly and praying with my whole heart, I find that I rarely have a problem with this. I know I have only brushed the surface. This is all I want though because the main point I want to get too is “Truth in Love” I am trying to reach it quickly so I am making it very simple where I am coming from. Next I will explain how living a righteous life leads too having a righteous heart and how it needs to be put into practice. I think I am going to call it a night, but I beg you please evaluate your heart. This is such an important role in your walk with Christ. Keep strong in the Lord. God Bless. – “The Will of God will never lead you where the Grace of God cannot keep you.”
