Psalm 97:11(Amp.) Light is sown for the righteous and strewn along their pathway, and joy for the upright in heart (the irrepressible joy which comes from consciousness of His favor and protection).
I wonder if you're like me and conscious of your own shortcoming and failures sometimes. We beat ourselves up if we've said or done something wrong and wont let it go. When we do that we're being sin conscious but the wonderful good news is that if we believe in Jesus we know He has wiped all our sin away and He doesn't want us to be sin conscious any more. He wants us to be righteousness conscious because He's made us righteous in His eyes!
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.
God wants us to be filled with joy because we're conscious of His gift of righteousness all the time. His righteousness is His very own nature and it gives us His favour and protection.
Romans 5:17 ...But even greater is God's wonderful grace, and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.
As we begin a new week let's enjoy being so conscious of having been made righteous, remembering our sins are forgiven, of God protecting us wherever we go and of His amazing grace and favour being on our lives - all because of Jesus our wonderful Saviour and His wonderful gift of righteousness.
Thank You Lord!
