Scripture Post #1,878: *UPRIGHT IN HEART*

 

Psalms 36:10:

"O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart."

GOD loves His creation with an intense and hard love. But when His creation deviates from His ways, His truths, His righteousness and His order, the goodness He has to offer goes untouched, unclaimed and often unnoticed. GOD wants to bless us, but it’s our job to embrace His blessings, *His* way. GOD is a holy and righteous GOD. And He wants His people like Himself: holy and righteous. This Psalm says, “O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.” Only those who live for GOD experience His lovingkindness and righteousness. It’s not about being perfect, holier than thou, or better than others. It’s about being like the holy GOD we love and serve and noticing, touching and claiming the blessings He’s offered us to embrace.
