GRACE FOR YOU TODAY

GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE REASON FOR YOUR GREATNESS
Scripture and month’s promise
“You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.”
Psalm 71:21 (NKJV)
Psalm 71 is often remembered for its wonderful promise in verse 21, but the foundation of that promise is found throughout the Psalm—the righteousness of God.
The psalmist declares:
“My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness…” (v.15)
“I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.” (v.16)
“Your righteousness also, O God, is very high…” (v.19)
“My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long.” (v.24)
The promise of increased greatness is therefore rooted, not in human merit, but in God’s righteousness.
The New Testament unveils this truth in its fullness. God’s righteousness is no longer merely an attribute to be admired—it is a gift to be received. Through Jesus Christ, God has made us the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). This righteousness is the foundation of our acceptance, our inheritance, and our victory.
Because you stand before God clothed in His righteousness, He is committed to increasing your greatness. Your promotion is not based on your own goodness but on Christ’s finished work. Your comfort on every side is not earned by your performance but flows from your right standing with God.
Like the psalmist, let your confidence rest in His righteousness alone. When you magnify God’s righteousness rather than your own efforts, you position yourself to experience His increase, His favour, and His all-round comfort.
Today, expect God’s promise to become your experience. The righteousness that justified you will also distinguish you.
Prayer:
Daddy God, thank You for making me the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I renounce every confidence in my own strength and rest completely in Your righteousness. Let Your righteousness be revealed in every area of my life as You increase my greatness and surround me with Your comfort. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Proclamation:
I declare that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I live by God’s righteousness and not by my own works. Therefore, God is increasing my greatness and comforting me on every side. I walk in divine favour, supernatural promotion, and lasting victory. My mouth shall continually declare His righteousness, for Christ is my righteousness, my confidence, and my glory. Amen.
Praise the Risen Jesus
