GODLY AND RIGHTEOUS LIVES
Sirach 32:14-17
The man who fears the Lord will receive instruction,
And those who rise early will find His approval.
He who seeks the Law will be filled with it,
But the hypocrite will be made to stumble by it.
Those who fear the Lord will discover judgment,
And like the light they will kindle righteous deeds.
A sinful man will turn aside correction
And find a rationalization according to his will.
Personal Challenge
Living a godly and righteous life is not easy, partly because of the fallen world around us, but mostly because of our own strong-willed, defiant hearts. If we desire to glorify our God and grow in His image, then here are some instructions to help us do that. Fear the Lord and receive His instruction. Spend time with Him to start our days off. Seek His teachings and let them fill our minds and hearts. Relish in His judgments and discipline. God desires the best for us, but we must be willing to pursue Him. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy? Lord, have mercy!
