GOD REWARDS RIGHTEOUS LIVING
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
2 Samuel 22:21
Righteousness according to the Old
Testament is righteous living. However, in the New Testament we have received
the righteousness which is by faith in Jesus Christ. When David in the Old
Testament said that the LORD rewarded him according to his righteousness, he is
essentially saying that the LORD rewarded him for his righteous living.
Say to the righteous that it shall be well
with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Isaiah 3:10
The above Scripture would then mean: “Say
to those who live righteously that it shall be well with them, for they shall
eat the fruit of their doings.” God rewards righteous living.
It doesn’t matter where you find yourself
right now, if you would continue living righteously, living according to God’s
Word sooner than later your life would begin to change. You can turn things
around as you live righteously.
The righteous is delivered from trouble,
and it comes to the wicked instead.
Proverbs 11:8
You can totally transform your life by
living righteously, so much so that those who knew your past would be shocked.
Therefore, do not worry about what your life looks like right now, but be
concerned about your future. If you would live righteously now, God will give
you a bright future.
Evil pursues sinners, but to the righteous,
good shall be repaid.
Proverbs 13:21
Thought of the day: God rewards righteous
living.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You that
Your Word teaches me to live righteously and thank You that You reward
righteous living, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
