Righteous
Thank You God for being Righteous in an Evil Day
Tragic. Frightening. Unreal. Evil. Infuriating. Senseless. What words well up in you when you think about blatant lawlessness that is occurring? We can evacuate cities when hurricanes are predicted, but we can’t predict when evil will raise its ugly head. People are asking, “What can we do?” No one knows. To what can we cling?
Our Heavenly Father promises to strengthen us and help us. How? God’s righteous powerful hand upholds us in the midst of evil, terror, and natural disasters. Turn to Him in this evil day. Pray for our nation and world. Be encouraged by the words of Isaiah 41:10.
“Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).
Heavenly Father, thank You that in this evil day, You are RIGHTEOUS.
“Upholder” is one of God’s 26 character traits that I delve into in my book, Pray with Purpose, Live with Passion. Get it for yourself or to give to a friend.

Are You Ready to be Scrutinized
On July 9, 2018 President Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. Since then, the nominee has been scrutinized for his professional work and personal life including his high school years. The scrutiny Kavanaugh has undergone has caused many of us to cringe as we’ve acknowledged that we would not want to be scrutinized before the world for our every word, action, and even emotion. It also makes those of us who are Christians more in love with and appreciative for Jesus. Why? As 2 Corinthians 5:21 explains, “He made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ.” On our day of scrutiny, God will see Christ’s righteousness, not our sins. There could not be better news!
Lord Jesus, thank You for taking our sin on Yourself and giving Your RIGHTEOUSNESS to us so we can stand blameless before the Father. We love and praise You!

I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My RIGHTEOUS right hand”
Tragic. Frightening. Unreal. Evil. Anger. Fear. Hopelessness. Horror. Sickening. Unfair. Senseless. Panic. What words well up in you when you think about Stephen Paddock opening fire and mass murdering 59 innocent people and injuring over 500 others? We can evacuate cities when Hurricanes are predicted. But we can’t predict when evil will raise its ugly head. Everyone is asking, “What can we do?” No one has the answer for how to prevent another mass murder. Our Heavenly Father understands our fear. He promises to strengthen us and help us. How? In the midst of evil, terror, and natural disasters, a RIGHTEOUS powerful hand holds the believer. God is RIGHTEOUS and we must turn to Him in this evil day. Sign up HERE to get my upcoming monthly Faith Nugget, “Being a Good Soldier in the Battle Against Evil.”

RIGHTEOUS
“Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand”
Isaiah 41:10
God amazes me! Just when I think that I have good reason to fear – N Korea with nuclear missiles, the Boston Marathon being bombed, Ricin on mail, school shootings, plant explosions, not to mention the danger to our children with the legalizaton of the Plan B pill as an over-the-counter drug; I pause and read Isaiah 41:10. “Do not fear, for I am with you.” Is that not an incredible reason to not fear? I can’t argue with that. God promises to strengthen us and help us. How? His righteous right hand will uphold us. In the midst of evil, in the throes of terror there will be an undergirding, a righteous powerful hand holding us up. God is righteous and His righteousness is not going anywhere.
Lord, thank You for Your RIGHTEOUSNESS and that You uphold me in the midst of that which I might otherwise fear.
