Proverbs 21:21 (NKJV) 21 He who follows righteousness and mercy Finds life, righteousness, and honor.
One thing that I’ve learned as a child of God is that walking with Him isn’t as difficult as some might think, or some might make it seem.
Yes, God is mysterious in some ways, simply because He is God.
But the concept of following Him isn’t nearly as difficult as we are often led to believe.
Look at the scripture above. Note its simplicity and directness; follow righteousness and mercy, and find life, righteousness and honor.
See how simple that is?
If we want righteousness, we need to seek righteousness. And if we add to that mercy, we will find life, as well as honor.
On the other hand, if we seek hatred, discord and chaos, we will find such things. We find what we seek. And we reap what we sow.
If we want our relationship with God to flourish, we need to seek Him wholeheartedly. We need to put Him first in everything; yes, every aspect of our lives.
If we hold back on some things, or in some areas of our lives, we will grow and benefit only in certain areas. The areas where we hold back will remain fruitless or weak.
So, what do we need to do?
To do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before our God.
Micah 6:8 (NKJV) 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?
This is not that difficult. And He will equip us to do just that if we sincerely ask Him to do so.
Amen
