God Causes Righteousness To Spring Up.

 

Isaiah 61:10-11

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD;

my soul shall exult in my God,

for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;

he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress,

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,

and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up,

so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise

to sprout up before all the nations.

Sometimes I find it hard to believe that God really does love me like this. In fact, my faith in God's love toward me probably wavers more than any other area. I see my own unworthiness instead of His glory. That is why I need to focus on Him and let my life be a reflection of His righteousness and His salvation. If I have anything it is because He has clothed me. He is the one who causes righteousness and praise to spring up. 

Lord may your righteousness grow in me to your glory!
