Are you fulfilling God's expectations for you?Today's Scripture:
Righteousness is more than just doing the right thing. It is being the right person, which begins by being in a right relationship with God. To get a clear picture of what righteousness looks like - to be able to follow after it - involves taking a close look at God's character as revealed throughout Scripture. What you'll find is pure integrity.
When a building has integrity, it means that its foundation and construction are sound. Its walls and door frames are straight and executed accurately according to a solid architectural plan. Because of its integrity, a building is able to stand strong through almost any kind of weather. God's integrity is the same way. He remains true to his plans and promises.
God's goodness, mercy, and faithfulness are unshakable, no matter what the circumstance.
The absolute integrity of God's character results in the righteousness of his actions toward you and others.
As you allow God to become more involved in your life, his righteousness begins to take hold in your own character. As your integrity grows in your relationship with God, it overflows into your relationships with others. The result is that even when relational storms begin to brew - when you face rejection, deceit, or betrayal - you have the strength and desire to stay true to God's plan. You can remain righteous in unrighteous surroundings. You can honor God with your life from the inside out.
Selah people' and friends being righteous is fulfilling God's expectations for you. It is living up to who he created you to be. It's impossible to achieve this through self-effort; rather, you achieve this through God's Spirit and your will working together in harmony.
"Peace be with you as you begin to walk in the steps that God intended for you, with God as he has "Big plans" for you."
