Proverbs 21:21-22 – Whoever pursues righteousness and love
finds life, prosperity and honor. One who is wise can go up against
the city of the mighty and pull down the stronghold in which they trust.
Matthew
5:6 – Blessed are
those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be
filled.
Proverbs 3:1-2 – My son, do not
forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and
prosperity.
Application:
- · “Hunger and thirst for righteousness” means have a deep longing for both personal righteousness and justice for the oppressed.
- · Fear of the Lord brings health to the body and “adds length to life”. When Solomon prayed for wisdom, God promised him riches as well as long life if he obeyed God’s commands. Normally the righteous are prosperous and happy, but sometimes it is the wicked who are strong and prosperous, temporary though that may be.
- · Spiritual weapons ‘have divine power to demolish strongholds.”
