Read Pro. 13:6
Did you know that living a righteous life will not only prolong your lifespan but it will preserve you and make you more youthful than your age? Sin, worry, stress, smoking, and bad eating habits will all age you. Today's verse says that righteousness "keeps" him that is upright. That word "keep" means "guard; protect, maintain, preserve". We all want to be preserved, maintained, guarded and protected so it's a no-brainer; live a righteous life. Righteousness will not only keep us but it keeps us "in the right way". So if you want to be in the right way on the right path doing the right thing you just live righteously. Micah 6:8 says, "He has showed you, O man, what is good and what the Lord requires of you, to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God." Sometimes we get so caught up in the specifics of life when we should just draw near to God and let his thoughts become ours. We learn how he thinks by meditating on his words and listening and being quiet. In between we just live a righteous life and he will order our steps.
Lord help us to be renewed day by day in your Word. Your Word refreshes us and is our quide.
