“He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.” Proverbs 14:2 (KJV)

What does it mean to walk uprightly? The upright is one whom God thinks highly of – who has a heart  for God. When we are walking rightly with God, we will have peace. If we lose our peace, we should check to see what has come between us and God. Have we allowed a root of bitterness to come into our hearts? If we have, we can ask God to forgive us and forgive those that have offended us. Perhaps we’ve lost our fear (reverence) for God?  Are we living a life that is pleasing to Him? God promises many good things to those that walk uprightly. He wants the best for us, and He has given us the knowledge of the Word so we can apply it to our lives and walk wisely before Him. God is ready to bestow His blessings, if we only obey His Word. Let’s choose to walk uprightly before Him; here are some wonderful scriptures to meditate on to keep us on the right track.

1. God accepts the righteous (Acts 10:35)

2. The righteous shall enter into peace and rest (Isaiah 57:2)

3. God is a sun and shield. He also gives grace and glory and withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11)

4. He gives wisdom and protection (Proverbs 2:7)

5. God will gives understanding in all things (Psalm 28:5)

6. The righteous shall walk in light and gladness (Psalm 97:11)

 “Lord, I choose to walk uprightly before you by keeping an intimate prayer life with you and meditating on your Word. Examine me, try me and test me to see that I am true to you. I choose to confess sin so that I not get perverted in my ways. Please keep me blameless Lord.”

 For His Glory
