Psalm 5:12 NIV For
surely, O Lord, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favour as
with a shield.
It takes time to know
how to walk in a righteous way with God. We have to learn this lesson through
the Holy Spirit of God. It does not come naturally in manmade rules but it
comes through the supernatural power of the Spirit of God. He is the One who
teaches us how to do this.
Firstly, we must want to
walk in the way that Jesus walked with His Father in uprightness and honesty.
We must be observant to the morality which is all around us. We must have a
correct moral code that gives glory and praise to God through the Holy Spirit
of God.
Secondly, we must always
consider that we are behaving in the way God wants. We must want to glorify His
Name and our behaviour will show this. Our conscience will be pricked by God’s
Spirit if we walk out of step with God.
We should ask God for
the Spirit of Discernment which will enable us to discern the evil forces around
us. God is the One who will shine forth His light into the darkness and make us
aware when we are not in His will. The evil one will do all he can to make us
walk in the wrong path. The Holy Spirit of God will make us strong and we will
be able to overcome the darkness with His help. This is why God sent the Holy
Spirit of God to us. When He, the Spirit of truth comes; He will guide you into
all truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and
He will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to Me by taking from
what in Mine and making it known to you. All that belongs to the Father is
Mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is Mine and make it
known to you. (John 16:13-15 NIV). We must always be perceptive to the Holy
Spirit of God seeking His guidance and instruction handling things in His way
and in accordance to His will through prayer and reading the Word of God. God
will bless His righteous people and surround them with His favour and His
shield as long as their hearts believe in the Lord Jesus Christ walking in
faith through Him then the righteousness of God will prevail.
