“Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace.” Psalm 37:37 (KJV)

Unbending, uncompromising that’s how the Greek signifies the upright person. They do not compromise the truth of God’s Word nor justify sin. (Isaiah 5:20, 26). The upright is one who does not have deceit in their spirit. They are sincere, approved by God and void of wrong motives. God thinks highly of the upright who is full of His character and one seeking after the heart of God. The upright honors God with their lips and heart. Are we honoring God with our lips and heart? (Isaiah 29:13.) The upright has a song in their heart for God. (Ephesians 5:19.) They have devoted their whole heart to the Lord – totally undivided devotion.  The upright person prays in faith (Psalms 51:7). How sweet to note that the end of that person is peace. When we walk uprightly before the Lord, we will walk in peace – without a guilty conscience. We will not walk in condemnation, but rather clothe ourselves in love. If we choose to live these scriptures out, we will have a heart after God’s. A perfect person is one who is complete, one who is mature. It does not mean one who is sinless. We should strive towards perfection which leads to maturity. We will grow spiritually and be upright when we apply God’s Word in our lives. There is nothing better than living with God’s peace. There is nothing sweeter to God than giving Him our whole heart.

“Lord, help me to walk with a pure heart, help me not to compromise Your word. Help me to have the right motives of heart. I want Your approval Lord, not man’s approval so that I can walk in peace.”

For His Glory
