He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour. Proverbs 21:21 That which we follow after will soon be seen and known by those who come in and out of our lives daily. I once had a dear friend tell me that eventually what a person truly believed would rise to the top and that they would not be able to hide it. I was a babe in Christ who had all kinds of questions and the Lord brought this man into my life at just the right time. I was a wide eyed new believer who was puzzled by the chameleon like life of many of the believers I came in contact with. Many seemed to follow after every morsel and whim that the world offered. Their lives resembled a coat of many colors as they trampled over the robe of righteousness that the Lord Jesus covered them with. We don’t follow after righteousness and mercy so that we can impress the audience of society or the people in the pews. We walk the path that is laid before us in our verse so that we can walk with the Lord. I have walked the streets of sin before I was saved and it was a dark and lonely place that left me empty, thirsty, hopeless and hell bound. We would do well to approach each God given day as an opportunity to make an impact in the lives of our family, friends, co-workers and complete strangers. Every day is an opportunity to make your life count for the cause of Christ. Let's purpose to leave a lasting legacy that points to the Lord Jesus Christ. | |
