Standard of Righteousness
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Psalm 37: 6
Sometimes, as believers, we get caught up in thinking that when we are sure that we are right about something, that it is also righteous in nature. Being right does not make us righteous at all, and we have to be careful that we do not make them synonymous with each other.
If we walk in obedience to Yahweh then we become righteous, just as He is righteous. Now we are in fellowship with Him, and even when we make a mistake in judgment we don’t lose our righteous standing with Him, but we repent and make the correction to do what is right. Only righteousness leads to right thinking, but right thinking without the Holy Spirit does not make one righteous.
As you start your day, don’t concentrate on being right or not, but look to The Father’s standard of righteousness in you and He will set you as a light to the lost.
