Righteousness
Pastor Jeff Williams // July 7th, 2009
I was reading morning devotions – to my daughter and her friend who spent the night – the Saturday morning before Father’s Day. (Sheridan loves to be awakened to the sound of my voice – Ha) Since it was the 20th, I turned to Proverbs twenty and began. When I got to verse seven however, I could not go any further. I reread it and pondered it, completely forgetting about the girls who had already dispersed since I had retreated to my own little world. And ‘little’ is the appropriate adjective to describe how I felt. The verse read, “The righteous man leads a blameless life; blessed are his children after him” (Proverbs 20:7 NIV). My righteousness has a direct affect upon how blessed my children will be. Blessed are the children after him… him who? A righteous man; a man who lives a life doing what is right, full of integrity and honesty. ‘Lord help me live a blameless life.’
