being righteous

• Psalm 5:12 (ESV)

---

Pursuing righteousness. When was the last I woke up in a new day and my #1 goal was being righteous?

I've woke up wanting to make it a good day. I've woken up early for vacations or travel and want it to be a safe day, or well prepared day. I've had special moments, my marriage, birth of my children, that I've wanted to be strong, fully aware, and focused on love.

But have I ever woken up with the expectation, the intention, to live righteously? It's part if what it means to follow Jesus, the pursuit of love, purity, strength and service. But maybe when I wake up wanting to be a good Christian - I more focused on making sure I believe the right things then those beliefs changing how I live.

Being Righteous - not centered on beliefs ad much as whether those beliefs make a change in me in the moments of my day.
