Questions
1. How can a person pursue righteousness?
2. Does this scripture suggest that righteousness just comes on a
person, or that the person is actively engaged in finding it?
3. What are the rewards of pursuing righteousness?
Practical help
What are you pursuing in your life? If you are not certain, ask
yourself where and on what you spend your time. This is a very good indicator of what is
important to you. Then ask yourself if the things that you are pursuing would be defined
as righteousness. Is viewing web porn an act of righteousness?
Consider the rewards of your pursuit as well. Does viewing web porn
bring about life, prosperity, or honor?
Pick your pursuits and your rewards...Pick Righteousness.
