Righteous is the Main
Thing
Proverbs28:5
-6, “Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand
all things. Better is the poor that
walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be
rich.” It is a strange thought to some
Christian musicians that wicked men and women do not understand God’s
judgment. Because God does not exact
judgment at the end of each day, some musicians are duped by Satan into
believing that sinners have it better in this life than Christians.
God’s
Word attests to the fact that it is better to be righteous and poor than to be
rich and perverse. The reader should
remember that I did not make this comparison but rather it was the inspired
Word of God. Rich people do not have to
be perverse, but riches can buy many opportunities to experience
perversion. The Christian musician that
does not possess much of this world’s goods should be advised of two
things. First, the righteous should
concentrate on being righteous and second, should not fret over those who are
perverse and also possibly rich. The
Christians responsibility is to walk carefully before God and his or her fellow
man. God will bring judgment on the wicked
whether or not they understand that He will.
Quote for the Day
1Timothy
6:5-6 “Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth,
supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain.” Remember to concentrate on being content
every day. That is the only way that you
can keep the main thing the main thing.

Prayer for the Day
My precious Lord I want my life, my heart, and my actions
to be pleasing in Your sight. Help me to
always be a good and faithful musical servant.
I know that it is not my might or power or worldly wisdom that my life
will be pleasing unto You. Help me to
have the wisdom to ask You for Your wisdom.
Help me throughout this year to seek your will for my daily walk. Help
me to concentrate on being righteous.
This I am asking in Your wise and wonderful name. Amen.
