The Work of the Righteous

Scripture Isaiah 32:17 The work of righteousness will be peace,
And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.

Observation: I think I’m righteous, but that’s not the truth. My focus is not on peace but revenge and anger. I see the bad news and I want those that are causing it to pay for it. I have no control of what happens, only what I do.

Application: I need to be more aware of my thoughts and actions and to calm down and ask God for guidance. If I can live my life in righteousness and live in peace maybe others will see it and that will encourage them, but no matter what I will be honoring to my Lord.

Prayer My Lord help me live a life that pleases You. I’m here as your ambassador show me how to do my job to the best of my abilities and gifts You have blessed me with.
