I was reminded today about my post two years ago about being right versus being righteous. My goal is to be righteous, meaning put Jesus at the forefront of all of my actions, words, thoughts, etc. I believe God speaks to each person as each person needs. It is key to spend time listening for God's voice and learning how to discern His words. The world is broken. It is tricky to navigate at times. People don't handle pain and hurt terribly well and we lash out at one another to prove we are right or justified. The truth is we are only justified in Jesus. Our actions, our words, our thoughts cannot be justified by us, so whether we are right or not isn'trelevant. We are called to be righteous through justification granted to us by the blood of Jesus. Focus your effort on being righteous through Christ rather than on being right. There is freedom in Christ.
