OUTLINE

The Bible says that heaven and earth will pass away but not a dot of His word will go unfulfilled. God’s word is unfailing, infallible and immutable. David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said, “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” (Psalm 37: 25).

Who is the righteous? The righteous is that person who has been saved from sin, satan and the world, sanctified by Jesus and is now living in the will of God and is in right standing with Him. Please note that no one becomes righteous by his or her efforts or deeds.

It is only Jesus that can give anyone a right standing before God. That is why the Bible says in Romans 5:17 that some people have received the gift of righteousness and the grace to reign in life through Jesus Christ. It is the Lord who died for our sins and rose for our justification that made us righteous before God! Once you are righteous and consistent in your daily walk with God, heaven will take special interest in you.

That is why the Bible affirms that the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and His ears are ever open to their cry. If there is any goal every Christian should seek earnestly to achieve, it is to be righteous through and through by God’s standard, not man’s. Jesus even said that our righteousness as believers should be greater that the Pharisees’.

Today’s memory verse reveals some interesting benefits the righteous enjoys. The first is that God will not forsake him or her. He did not forsake Daniel in the dens of lions. He did not forsake Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego in the fiery furnace.

He did not forsake Elijah during the time of famine; He provided for His servant’s needs and stood by him. He did not forsake Peter in the prison, in spite of Herod’s evil machination. He did not forsake Paul and Silas in the Philippian jail. He is faithful. If you are righteous, no matter what the enemy does to you, God will save you.

2. Father, I thank You for clothing me with the garments of salvation and for covering me with the robe of righteousness, in the name of Jesus.
