THE UPRIGHT IN HEART SHALL SEE GOD

 “For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness; The upright in heart shall behold His face.” – Psalm 11:7 (NKJV)


This verse reveals a profound truth: God delights in those who live righteously and walk with an upright heart. To be upright in heart means to be sincere, honest, and to live in holiness without hypocrisy. It is a state where your conscience is pure, and you have nothing to hide before God.

Throughout the Scriptures, God promises to reveal Himself to those who fear Him and walk in integrity. The Bible says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” – (Matthew 5:8, NKJV). If you desire to see God manifest in your life, if you want to witness His hand defending and helping you, the key is simple – be upright in heart.

God does not reveal Himself to those who pretend to be righteous while harboring deceit in their hearts. No matter how much you pray, fast, or give offerings, if your heart lacks integrity, you will not experience His presence. But when you choose to remain faithful to Him, even in difficult times, He will answer and reveal Himself to you in an extraordinary way.

Consider the life of Joseph. He remained faithful to God even when he faced severe trials. He refused to sin and chose to live righteously. Though he was falsely accused and imprisoned, God did not abandon him. In the end, Joseph was exalted and saw the goodness of the Lord. You, too, must continue to walk in righteousness and integrity because God will defend and exalt you in His perfect time.

Do not lose heart! If you have chosen to live in holiness and uprightness, know that God sees you. He is with you, even when you feel alone. Your time to see His glory will come, and you will testify of His goodness, just like Joseph did.

Prayer: Righteous Lord, You who love holiness and uprightness, I ask You to purify me and make me clean before You. Help me to walk in integrity and never turn away from Your ways. Reveal Yourself to me, guide me, and show me Your glory as You did with Your faithful servants. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Choose love over judgment

"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” Galatians 2:21 NKJV   The message today is clear and very brief. God reminds us that our righteousness is not attained through our actions but by faith in Jesus Christ. If our righteousness is obtained by faith and not by deeds, why do we judge each other? Why do we point fingers? Why do we gossip? The mouths of Christians have become very quick to judge others when they make mistakes. Let's not judge others, especially when they make mistakes. Remember that the weaknesses you judge in others, you also have, and often yours are worse than those you judge. The word of God says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2."   Secondly, let's not consider ourselves righteous and better than others. The word of God says, "for all...

With God, Everything is possible

"casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]." 1 Peter 5:7 AMP Our God is a powerful God, capable of helping us in every situation where we need His assistance. As a believer and someone who relies on God, you need to learn how to entrust all your problems to Him. Many Christians have not been able to fully surrender their concerns to God. Within their hearts, you will find that they retain a part of the responsibility. It's like saying, "I will handle it up to this point, and then I will leave the rest to God to finish." This isn't surrendering the entire matter to God. Nowadays, when someone says, "I've left this matter to God," it's often because they've exhausted their own methods of solving it and have given up. Some people say this not because they believe that the problem will now...

God is my protector

Psalm 91:2 reads, "I will say to the Lord, 'My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." This verse encapsulates a profound declaration of trust and confidence in God's protective care. It serves as an affirmation of the believer's unwavering faith in the Lord's ability to provide security and refuge in times of trouble. In times of uncertainty and challenges, may you find solace and strength in the Lord. Just as the psalmist declared their unwavering trust in the Lord as their refuge and fortress, may you also find courage to vocalize your faith and dependence on God. Remember that you are not alone in your struggles. God, your refuge and fortress, is with you every step of the way. He is your shelter in the midst of life's storms, your stronghold in times of adversity. Trust in His steadfast love and faithfulness, knowing that He is always present to protect and guide you. Divine Protection Affirmation: I will not fear, for God is with me; He is ...
