Proverbs 21:21
He who follows righteousness and mercy
Finds life, righteousness, and honor.

Application:

Just as the person who pursues evil will encounter it, the person who seeks righteousness will discover it. The reward for wisdom and righteousness is longevity and success.

Those who fervently desire and diligently and consistently endeavor to attain righteousness and mercy shall certainly receive from God what is rightful and due to them, either from God, by His gracious promise, or from people whose hearts God will direct to act justly and kindly toward them.

In Matthew 5:6, Jesus Christ says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” 

The key is to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness first, and all our needs will be provided for us, including long life, honor, and prosperity (Matthew 6:31-33, 3 John 1:2).

Let us trust in and obey Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. He is willing to give us the Kingdom (Luke 12:32).

To God, be the glory!

Our Lord Jesus Christ created everything! By Him, For Him!

When God inspires me, I write blogs. Consider this writing as a Bible study. Like the Bereans In Acts 17:11, search the Scriptures to determine whether what I write is so. Always consult with your church ministers about biblical matters. I am also not a professional writer, so some grammar or spelling errors may be. I try my best to write as efficiently as possible.
