You are
Righteous
I don't care how badly you
may have messed things up yesterday or how many mistakes
you have made, I want you to begin this day knowing you are
righteous! Not because of anything you've done but because
you've received, by faith in Jesus, the very righteousness
of God. Just look at the kinds of benefits the Word of God
says that righteousness will bring:
"The righteous shall flourish
like the palm tree" (Ps. 92:12).
"...not having mine own
righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is
through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of
God by faith." -- (Philippians 3:9)
"When it goeth well with the
righteous, the city rejoiceth" (Prov. 11:10).
"The seed of the righteous
shall be delivered" (Prov. 11:21).
"For the eyes of the Lord are
over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their
prayers"
(1 Pet. 3:12).
"For thou, Lord, wilt bless the
righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a
shield"
(Ps. 5:12).
"The righteous cry, and the
Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their
troubles" (Ps. 34:17).
"I have been young, and now am
old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his
seed begging bread" (Ps. 37:25).
"The righteous shall inherit
the land, and dwell therein forever" (Ps. 37:29).
"The Lord loveth the righteous"
(Ps. 146:8).
Don't let the devil rob you of
even one of these blessings by telling you you're unworthy
of them. Run him off. Shout out loud, "I am the
righteousness of God!" Then step out in faith and enjoy the
privileges God has prepared for you!
