The Lord God reigns supreme forevermore. He is all-powerful and His enemies will not stand but be destroyed. They may not be suffering in this life but will be in the next. Through God’s mighty hand, they are scattered abroad, especially those who would never come to Him. If only people knew the God of Israel, they would quit defying Him, and kneel down before Him as their God and King. This one true God is able to help us in this darkened world, even to know the desires of the wicked and their plans against His people. David wrote, “but thou, Lord, art most high for evermore. For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.” (Psalm 92:8-11)
Only through the Lord, our God, can anyone become righteous. This means to be blameless and pure in God’s sight. His kingdom reigns in us as He is made our King of righteousness. These are those who are led by the Holy Spirit and bring forth His fruits. This is done by way of the Holy Spirit and the spiritual giftings in our lives. David continued and wrote, “the righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.” (Psalm 92:12-15) Jesus is the Lord. In Him, there is no unrighteousness, but the goodness of God. Allow His righteousness to flourish in your lives. Then, can He become a part of Your lives. Believe in and know Him today. Amen.
Let us pray:
Oh Lord, I pray that more people will rise up and follow You. That they will no longer be a prisoner to the things of this world, but will allow You to help them break free from it. You are the Lord of my life and I pray that these people will make the Lord of theirs also. If only this world would know You and then it would be filled with Your righteousness also. There is good that only comes from You. If only this world could have a taste of Your goodness, they would never go back to their sinful ways again. I know we are not perfect, but people on Your side fight against temptation instead of blatantly giving in to it each time. We do fall at times when our guard is down but acknowledge our sins so that we might be forgiven. Lord, receive our confessions today. We have done wrong and ask for Your mercy. You mean everything to me and I pray that I will showcase Your love to people in this world. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
We can only be righteous by putting on Christ’s righteousness by believing and trusting in him.
