Psalms 11:7
Psalms 11:7
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
The righteous LORD, who loves righteousness, takes pleasure in those who are upright. This powerful message speaks to the very nature of God as a being who cherishes purity, justice, and integrity. When individuals align themselves with these values, they find favor in the eyes of the Almighty. His love for righteousness assures believers that He is on the side of those who pursue goodness and justice. God’s countenance reflects His approval, a symbol of His eternal support for those walking in integrity. This relationship with God is a partnership where His favor rests upon the righteous, encouraging them to continue in their pursuit of holy living. Being upright in a world filled with moral challenges becomes possible when one knows they are supported by God. This approval is not fleeting but a lasting testament to God’s unwavering support for righteousness. The upright can take comfort, knowing that their efforts to live justly are both seen and cherished by the Creator, giving them strength to persevere in righteousness.
