Today God says:
"In the way of righteousness there is life"
He promises me:
"In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is not death". (Prov. 12:28)
My response to the word:
The Bible is full of admonitions about the importance of righteousness. Though I realize I have no righteousness of my own, I am able to walk in the righteousness that Christ imparted to me. The Bible says, "The righteous are delivered out of trouble". I will walk in the Lord's righteousness throughout this day.
My prayer:
Lord, thank you for imparting your righteousness to me. With your help I will walk in righteousness everywhere I go.
Today's scriptures:
"He renews my soul. He guides me along the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name". (Ps. 23:3 GW) "The righteousness of innocent people makes their road smooth, but wicked people fall by their own wickedness". (Prov. 11:5 GW) "A righteous person is rescued from trouble". (Prov. 11:8 GW)
Quote for today:
You can always tell when you are on the road of righteousness - it's uphill. (Ernest Blevins)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
