5:44 Psalm 14:5
"God is with those who are righteous." (v5) Of course, Lord, the only righteousness a believer has is the righteousness given to us. Jesus, Your Son, is our righteousness. You consider us righteous, not because of our life choices, actions, or way of living, but because of Christ.
Because of my belief in Jesus and embrace the gospel -- the fact that He died for me and paid for my sins -- You have somehow determined me righteous. You treated Christ the way I should be treated…He was abandoned, tortured, and went through death for me.
Anyway, thank You, Father for declaring me righteous and then being with me because of it.
Lord, I praise You this morning for Your grace and mercy -- I need so much of it. Your kindness and love are contrary to a world that is bent on hate, anger, suppression, and meanness. Be glorified somehow in my life today. I am second.
