Yesterday's Bible Study |
This Proverb tells us that the Lord sees both the wicked and the righteous, and that He loves those who seek righteousness (meaning high morals and values). In this morning's study, we'll consider what it means to follow "after righteousness" and truly experience the love of the Lord as a result.
Sometimes it seems like people who do sinful things get ahead in life, while I, trying to plug along the moral route, encounter all kinds of difficulty. This is not a feeling based on truth; while evil people may seem to get ahead, their behavior is repugnant to the Lord. He will forgive them if they repent, but they cannot experience His love in the midst of sin.
As Christians following after righteousness, however, we can cling to the supreme treasure that is the love of God. Because the Lord loves us, He will never leave us or forsake us. He will never ignore our cries for help, and He will always offer us peace if we ask Him for it. We know that when we die, we will be with the Lord. Instead of looking for the world to fill us up, we are filled up with His love and goodness. The love of God encourages us and reminds us, over and over again, that we are not alone.
