What exactly is righteousness? Well, righteousness is defined as "the quality of being morally right or justified.
Okay, so what would we say is "morally right"? We know that a moral is defined as a person's standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable. So, in this case as Christians our morals are founded on the word of God, right?
I like this scripture because it reminds me of the set of standards that I am instructed to live by. Society can have you accepting all kinds of foolish things. To be honest, in some situations I'd much rather go by society's moral code. It's more pleasing to my flesh. But the Bible tells us to do righteousness, which as stated before is to do what is morally right. The scripture goes on to say, "blessed is the man who does this". If you catch this you'll see that's one of the many promises God has given us!!
Regardless of how you feel or who has mistreated you, remember what the word of God says,"Keep justice and do righteousness because blessed is the man who does this!" Amen.
