Being a righteous person is not about you or me doing good or being a good person. It actually has nothing to do with me or you at all. Being a righteous person is about God and His kingdom.

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

In serving, in prayer, in worship, in fasting, in living out our salvation, we are to bring the Light of Christ and the glory of God for others to see His kingdom. It is not to show off ourselves as zealot for God.

“Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
. . . [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’]

🌹I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
