Read Today's Passage
The command early in this chapter to seek righteousness, seek humility is one that we in America have forgotten. There are so few within our shores that can be called truly righteous, or humble. What does it mean to be righteous or humble?
Righteous has a few definitions, but the best one is to be free from guilt or sin. While we can never be free from sin here on earth (not by ourselves anyway), we need to continue to seek that status, and to continually come back to God for it. Only He can provide us with that standing before Himself and others. And humility? Get rid of all of your pride. You make yourself a servant to others. You do not depreciate yourself, for that is false humility because you are beating down what God has created. But to place yourself as a servant, seeking the glory of God above your own.
How many of us can say that we achieve these?
How many of us really try?
