Scripture:
“Whoever pursues righteousness and unfailing love will find life, righteousness, and honor.” Proverbs 21:21 NLT
Observation:
Pursue two things and get three things. Sounds like a pretty good deal. This proverb combines the pursuit of righteousness and unfailing love. When we pursue righteousness and unfailing love, we are promised life, righteousness and honor.
Application:
Personal holiness with love has dividends. Many times those who pursue holiness end up being judgmental of others and self-righteous. The goal here is to combine personal righteousness with powerful love, then we will be blessed with life, righteousness, and honor. God’s word always brings us back to loving God and loving people. When we love God, we walk holy. When we demonstrate unfailing love, we love people. These two combined are powerful.
Prayer:
Lord, let me walk in personal holiness and selfless love. Teach me to love others well and to live a life they can follow. Help me to love righteousness and love people. Let Your love fill my life and show let my life radiate You love through right living.
Yours,
Jeff
