Psalm 7

Thoughts On Psalm No. 7

Consider the following  proverb attributed to the Chinese.

If there is righteousness in the heart,

There will be beauty in the soul.

If there is beauty in the soul,

There will be harmony in the home.

If there is harmony in the home,

There will be order in the nation.

If there is order in the nation,

There will be peace in the world.

If we use the biblical definition of righteousness (Romans 1:16,17), we find the right way to create the peace that God wants....people living as God's children, Christians!

Now an assignment.......Slowly read Psalm 112. Note the word righteousness and in vss. 4,6 the word righteous, and traits assigned to the righteous person. In vs. 7 note the word heart and its description. What we have is a description of the way of life of one who is righteous. Do you think it fits the proverb?????

The New Testament gives us the information we need to become Christians, thus becoming righteous. Study hard, commit firmly, serve willingly, be beautiful!
