Proverbs 21:21 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“He who follows righteousness and mercy Finds life, righteousness, and honor.” (Proverbs 21:21 NKJV)

This passage triggers a stirring question: What is your pursuit in this life? And, we beware! Truth be told, what we pursue we will ultimately find and catch. Lord Jesus said: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”(Matthew 7:7 NKJV)

Also, it determines where our talent, time, treasure and touch are invested. And, everyone basically aspires a good life, do it right, and be honored. But, sadly, not everybody attains and gets a grasp of it. 

To find it, this passage tells us, one has to follow the way of 'righteousness and mercy.' And, God's Words reveal that there is only One Way. That way is through Christ Jesus our Lord. It is written: “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life....” (John 14:6a NIV).

How do we find life? Lord Jesus said: “Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.” (Matthew 10:39 NIV)

In Christ Jesus, through grace by faith in Him: We have abundant life (John 10:20), and ...We are the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21).

And, He said: “If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.” (John 12:26 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
