Grace for you today !
Beholding Jesus walk in the paths of Righteousness!
“He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” Psalms 23:3 NKJV
Righteousness is the cure or the antidote for sin. Sin means missing the mark or the standard. 2 Corinthians 5:21 gives us one of the most powerful solutions to all our struggles. “For God made Jesus who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ.” Amen!
The divine exchange took place – Jesus, pure and fully righteous became sin so that we who are sinners and are having sin nature might become the righteousness of God. The Holy Spirit leads us into this kind of Righteousness. It’s God’s kind of Righteousness and not human right doing nor human goodness.
Secondly, the promise verse states He leads me in the “Paths of Righteousness “. Please note it’s “paths” and not “path”. I am reminded of an old proverb, ‘All roads lead to Rome’ meaning all choices, methods, or actions eventually should lead to the same result. So also, each one’s different problems and their approach to bring solutions may be different, yet all these should culminate in “His Righteousness”.
Just as in a hospital, there may be different departments such as cardiology, urology, neurology and so on & yet the ultimate focus & the purpose of all such means & pursuit is to make the patient to experience “Good health”.
My beloved, you may be going through different problems yet all you need to hold on to is the confession, “ I am the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus” 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Hold on to this confession feverishly even though at times it may seem as if you are just saying a mantra, yet what you are doing is simply obeying the Holy Spirit who is the Blessed One forever, bringing in you the forever-blessing, healing & deliverance which is His Righteousness! Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus !
