The Blessings of the Righteous

       For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield. Psalm 5:12

                        God blesses the righteous people in several ways. God answers the prayer of righteous people which is powerful and effective. The Lord is far from the wicked but He hears the prayer of the righteous - Proverbs 10:3. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.- James 5:16. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry - Psalm 34:15. He delivers them from all their afflictions. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all - Psalm 34:19.

                     God will never withhold any good thing for people who walk upright. No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly - Psalm 84:11. The generation of righteous are blessed and his descendants will be mighty on earth. The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him - Proverbs 20:7. His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed - Psalm 112:2. God protects the righteous and keep them safe. The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe - Proverbs 18:10.

                       The righteous flourish and their path of life shine brighter like the morning sun. The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.- Psalm 92:2. The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.- Proverbs 4:18. As Noah was a righteous man and blameless in his generation, he found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Genesis 6:8,9). Let us wear the breastplate of righteousness each day to be protected against the attack by devil and lead a righteous life.         

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the Lord who blesses the righteous people. Help us to lead a righteous life and receive the blessings from You. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
