DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND JUST

Proverbs 21:21 Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity, and honor.  God wants us to seek Him and not the things of the world when we're looking for God; we will find love, faith, endurance, and gentleness.  Romans 2:6  God "will repay each person according to what they have done." Psalm 37:28 For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones.  Wrongdoers will be destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish.

To pursue the things of God cost us nothing but faith; the things of God give us peace, self-control, and power, power over our sinful nature.  Once we receive Christ and follow God's instruction, we are filled with the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit will transform us into godliness and give us strength and guidance as we walk with Christ.

Father, we are Your unworthy servants; who still disobey Your Word. Thank You for understanding and forgiveness.  Lord, thank You for the law of the Spirit that has set us free in Christ Jesus. For He has done what the law, weakened by our flesh; could not do, saved us. Thank You for sending Your only Son in the likeness of sinful flesh so the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us and teach us to walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.   Lord, we receive You as our Savior; please write Your New Covenant of grace in our hearts; through our study of Your Word, so we will mature into the believers You created us to be, Christ-like.  Father, You have delivered us from Satan; through our faith in You, Thank You for being our shield against evil and our enemies.  Lord, hear our righteous plea and give ears to our prayers, deliver us from our fleshly desires of this lost world. In Jesus' name, Amen.
