TODAY’S PROVERB: So you will walk in the way of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous. Proverbs 2:20, TLV
Guess what I’m thinking about? That day. The day I look my Savior in the eyes — after a long embrace, of course. Seeing Yeshua — Jesus — and our Father. Knowing He’s excited to see me.
Then, I hope He says to me, “Well done, good and faithful servant . . .” (Matthew 25:21; Luke 19:17).
Knowing that every sacrifice, every wise, but difficult decision, every tear, every prayer will have been worth it to see Jesus, and see Him nod and smile. Doing all those things didn’t earn me entrance into an eternity with my Heavenly Father, Yeshua did that.
You see, my wise decisions and keeping to the paths of righteousness not only honors Him, they reinforce my gratitude for all He did for us — for me. I want my life to demonstrate His love.
To the best of my ability — flawed with my sinful nature and frailty — I am living a redeemed live covered by His blood. I want to take those “talents” He gave me and make the most of them with wisdom and obedience.
Imagining that moment motivates me to continue walking, climbing, pressing on that narrow, sometimes lonely path of righteousness.
May we walk in the way of good men and women, and keep to the path of righteousness, my friends.
