Thirsting for Righteousness (A Poem)

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. —Psalm 19:14 (KJV ) Let me give thanks to you, Jesus, for dying for my sins at Calvary Let my mouth honor you Let my inner thoughts honor you  Let me be humble enough to lean on you alone for wisdom, strength and yes even forgiveness. Let me look forward to that resurrection day Let me praise your Holy Name Further Reading King James Version

The Undefiled (Psalm119:1)

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. ——Psalm 119:1 (KJV) “Blessed are the undefiled in the way,” —-Psalm 119:1a (KJV) I read this and realize the only one who is truly undefiled is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  However, believers have hope in Jesus. In II Corinthians Chapter 5:21 (KJV) states, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” He bled and died as a spotless sacrifice for our sins on a Roman cross, so that we can be righteous in him. “…who walk in the law of the LORD.“ —Psalm 119:1b (KJV) Whosoever believes in Jesus is in dwelt by the Holy Spirit. He gives you a righteous nature. I believe the Holy Spirit grips your heart in his fist, and gives you the desire to read the Word of God so that you may know his will and be more like Jesus.  The Holy Spirit helps us to bear fruit. The Bible says:  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering

Jesus Christ Our Righteousness

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. —-Psalm 1:6 (KJV) Once again, like the rest of Psalm 1, there’s a contrast presented. You have the way of the righteous and the way of the ungodly. God knows the way of the righteous. Those who pursues an ungodly path will perish like the chaff cast into the fire. However, The  Word of God tells us  that everyone has sinned and fell short of the glory of God. Personal experience verifies this stated fact and it’s cuts to my soul. It’s convicting. God knows that the hearts of man is corrupt. In fact, He knows it all. God told Samuel while searching for the next anointed King of Israel among the sons of Jesse in I Samuel 16:7 (KJV) , “ But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him  (Eliab, one of Jesse’s sons) : for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.” Go
