“Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?”
“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
“Whoever walks in integrity will be delivered”
Psalms 84:4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise! Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion. As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion. O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed! For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!
Philippians 4:19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Psalms 34:9 Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
Proverbs 2:7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
Proverbs 28:6 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.
Have you ever thought of what it is that hinders walking with God? Lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, greed, and pride all lead down a path of ever wanting and never finding. These are all temporary satisfactions that have no end and will never satisfy the heart, soul and mind. Satisfaction the world offers is tied to that which cannot satisfy the heart and soul. Searching for satisfaction outside of God is like chasing the wind – (never caught – only a temporary sensory feeling – always changing direction). Those who desire and seek God choose to be humbly serving, honoring, following, and obeying Him. Their eyes are on Him and eternity promised. Holiness, purity, genuine love, kindness, faith, hope, generosity, obedience, service, and humbleness replace complacency, neglect, lust, greed, and worldly satisfaction. Their hope is in the Lord. Their trust is in the Lord. Their strength is in Him. Their peace is in Him. Their want is to honor Him. Their desire is to serve, follow and obey Him. Their wisdom and food for life this side of eternity is found in His word and promises.
