May 7: Cheerfulness and Contentment.
Life, Righteousness, and Honor.
Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right. May all who are godly rejoice in the Lord and praise his holy name!--Psalm 97:11, 12, NLT
RIGHTEOUSNESS HAS ITS ROOT in godliness. No human being is righteous any longer than he has faith in God and maintains a vital connection with Him. As a flower of the field has its root in the soil; it must receive air, dew, showers, and sunshine, so must we receive from God that which ministers to the life of the soul.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 7, 194.
Not by painful struggles or wearisome toil, not by gift or sacrifice, is righteousness obtained; but it is freely given to every soul who hungers and thirsts to receive it.--Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 18.
Righteousness is love, and love is the light and the life of God. The righteousness of God is embodied in Christ. We receive righteousness by receiving Him.--Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 18.
Many...build barriers between themselves and Jesus, so that His love cannot flow into their hearts, and then they complain that they do not see the Sun of Righteousness. Let them forget self and live for Jesus, and the light of heaven will bring gladness to their souls.--Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 232.
He who follows righteousness and mercy
finds life, righteousness, and honor.
--Proverbs 21:21, NKJV
So it is God who decides to show mercy.
We can neither choose it nor work for it.
--Romans 9:16, NLT
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirsts for righteousness,
For they shall be filled."
--Matthew 5:6, NKJV
