Title: Follow the Choice of the Righteous
Contents Hymns Chapter 369 “With all your heart and soul”, Chapter 514 “Who followed the Lord”
Dear saint! Life is a choice. We make choices big and small in life. When choosing home appliances, think carefully before purchasing. If you live by making righteous choices, you will live a righteous life. If you live by choosing injustice, you become an unrighteous person. If you live by choosing injustice, you become an unrighteous person. The people who left a beautiful mark on history are those who made the right choice. Proverbs 21 presents the life of the righteous, comparing the wicked with the righteous. Proverbs give us wisdom and understanding to make right choices.
First, the children of God do righteousness and fairness (Proverbs 21:3). The wicked hate justice (Proverbs 21:7).
The wicked are punished because they know justice but refuse to do it. God prefers obedience (righteousness and fairness) to sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22). A righteous life itself can become a “sacrificial sacrifice” that is pleasing to God (Romans 12:1). God hates hypocrisy when a sinner does evil by offering him a sacrifice (Proverbs 21:27).
Second, children of God choose the straight path (Proverbs 21:8).
“The way of the clean (the way of the innocent) is straight.” Because the unregenerate natural man belongs to the darkness, he tries to hide his deceitful deeds. But the children of God come out as light and confess their sins (John 3:19-21).
Those who forsake their sins (those who confess) experience God's mercy (Proverbs 28:13). Because he honestly confesses what he did wrong, he also gains peace of mind before God.
Dear saint!
They shut the ears of the wicked from hearing the cry of the poor (Proverbs 21:13). He is rude and proud (Proverbs 21:24). He is full of greed (Proverbs 21:26). He is always vigilant in everything (Proverbs 12:29). He is diligent (Proverbs 21:5) and loves to work. He is a child of God who makes the right choice. Therefore, let's learn the wisdom of making the right choice today. -Amen-
Our Lord Jesus Christ! I want to make the right choice for God (Joshua 24:15), for the gospel (Acts 20:24), and for the church (Romans 16:16).
