The Righteous Way of Life: Jesus

The Righteous Way of Life is found in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus.

Have we waxed cold in our service, commitment, and relationship with the LORD, especially when it comes to increased wickedness and lawlessness? This question is mentioned in Matthew 24:12, stating that as society becomes more corrupt, it will negatively impact the love and faith of those who are believers. So, ask yourself this, has my living become in vain due to trying to walk in the way of men instead of Christ? (Matthew 24:11-13  11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Unless you have given your life to Christ you may as well stop half-heartedly listening to or reading the Word. Stop pretending to understand or adhere to it when you don’t. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life…” (John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me). This is the way we must all come, but we seemed to skip over that part. Sure, YHWH, God is our Father, The Creator of it all. But God, out of His love for all of us, sent His Son to remove all sin in yours and my life; through His Son, our Saviour God can look upon us. All or most all of us need to turn around, repent and start all over. Yashuah will definitely help you. He will make your life richer than it’s ever been (not just with material things but a Spiritual awakening and peace that will transcend (go beyond) and form of your understanding. (Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus).

The path of righteousness, as described in the Bible, is the way of life characterized by moral goodness, integrity, and justice. It necessitates getting and staying on the path of truth which includes making choices that align with God’s will. And the attempt or desire to obtain and achieve what it takes to live according to His standards. This path is often described as a journey that requires much effort and discipline on our part. But staying on this path and walking the righteous walk will ultimately lead to an abundant, fulfilling and meaningful life; the one YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, intend for us to have. (Proverbs 2:20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous).

It is known of all who choose to worship Adonai, in love and truth, that giving Him the first fruit of themselves (time in the morning, wages, efforts, etc.,) is the beginning of a positive position in a purposeful life. It starts out, as indicated previously, with rising and focusing on seeking direction and wisdom to make sound righteous decisions. This frame of mind, taken on early in the morning, help us to be acute to that which our Father would have us to be so that we can navigate the good and difficult times we encounter as the day progresses. But the most important reason of all is acknowledging God’s presence, His strength, His help, and His unwavering faithfulness while you are entering in the beginning of a trial or test. His never wavering love, patience, peace, and progressive perseverance in the middle. And as we emerge out of it, maybe with a few battle scars, but coming out and you are a new creature; your whole self has changed, for the best, at the end. In our times of going through ( which is most of the time) we find ourselves expressing uncertainty regarding the outcome of it all, and requesting His guidance in all areas of your life to get to a safe place, The Rock, our Lord Jesus, knowing if we stick with Him our change will come; all with respect, honor, glory and praise upon rising; this starts your day out on a good and righteous note; He will show and tell us how to react to the happenings of the world today, tomorrow, and beyond. Every day of our life, if we call on God, in all-out honesty, in Jesus’ name when we first get up in the morning, He will direct our path. (Psalm 25: 1 Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. 3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. 4 Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. 5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day) Read Full Chapter.

 He will guide us: He will tell us who and what to listen to, which helps us to stay at peace, be calm, and stay focused on His word, will, and way. He gives us the eyes to see goodness, ways, which seems impossible to our naked eyes, out of no way; a prevalent light in the darkness of this world; our fortress, strong tower for every contrary thing that we face, in the middle of our circumstances. He equips us (His true children) with what we need to carefully observe, to see His goodness in our fellow man or see the evil that may try and encamp around us. He will put in us, a right mind, and teach us how to think righteous thoughts which lead to moral and upright choices and actions; He puts words of wisdom and encouragement in our mouths so that we can share them with those who are searching, afraid, confused, those who need it (which is all of us). And let us understand and remember that we can plan, plan, and plan to walk a certain path but the LORD is the one Who truly has the last say and therefore, directs our steps. (John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Proverbs 16:9 A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps (A man’s heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps).”

So, as you rise in the morning and go through your morning ritual don’t forget to give God thanks, glorify His name, send up praises, and show gratitude for His faithfulness; open up your hearts and minds to Him; get connected to the orchestra He conducts. He then, prepares and allows us (the ones opened to Him) to receive that part, which is yours individually, which is needed to be pleasing and beneficial in YHWH, God’s sight and kingdom; that which He has ordained. And our Lord and Saviour, Yashuah, Jesus, gives us a clearer view and understanding of which path to take when we are in tuned with the rhythm of Him, God’s Word. And He reveals the meaning of each obstacle or milestone encountered or achieved. (James 4:7-9 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Read full chapter). GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY, NO FEAR.
