“Righteousness Rises”
Thursday, April 18, 2024Key Verse
“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.” Malachi 4:2
Text — Malachi 4:1-6
Message
Have you seen the sun in its beauty as it rises in the morning? We are told that the rays of the rising sun can heal. They give vitamins to the human’s body. The sun also drives away darkness to help us to carry out our daily activities. The word of God uses the shining sun to describe righteousness. Righteousness means holiness and purity of life. Righteousness begins after salvation. The blessings of a righteous child are not only for him, but also for his family and friends. The righteous life of Joseph saved his whole family from death. Righteousness brings healing to our body, soul and spirit. It helps us grow in well doing. Righteousness drives away evil, makes our society safe to live in and makes us fit for Heaven.
Friends of Jesus are instructed to do what is right and godly wherever they go. Let the sun of righteousness arise through your life and show its beauty wherever you are. Declare today “Day of Righteousness” and let all around you share the joy and peace of your righteous living.
