\u201cFor this comes from the Lord<\/strong> who is the Spirit.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Psalms 85:13<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way.<\/p>\n

Psalms 89:14<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness<\/strong> go before you.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 58:8<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.<\/p>\n

Psalms 119:35<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Lead me<\/strong> in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it.<\/p>\n

John 13:14<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.\u00a0\u00a0For I have given you an example<\/strong>, that you also should do just as I have done to you.\u00a0\u00a0Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.<\/p>\n

Ephesians 5:1<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0Therefore be imitators of God<\/strong>, as beloved children.\u00a0\u00a0And walk in love<\/strong>, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.<\/p>\n

Hebrews 12:1<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 John 2:6<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Righteousness and Justice are the foundation of the throne of God. \u00a0Steadfast love and faithfulness shine \u00a0a light on the path our live should follow. \u00a0Jesus walked this side of heaven teaching with His word and also as an example of humbly serving, honoring, following, and obeying God the heavenly Father. \u00a0Paul said we ought to imitators of God, walking in love and setting aside every sin that clings so closely to us. \u00a0We are to live like this with a heart desire and endurance. \u00a0In Psalms David requested to be led on a path that followed God’s statues and commands. \u00a0There is a choice required in our heart, mind and soul to seek and know God. \u00a0This same choice desires to be led on paths that honor and glorify Him. \u00a0Each day we have a choice to commit to following Him or be complacent. \u00a0We have a choice to know Him more and more each day or neglect His word. \u00a0To be imitators of God and be a light in the darkness, time in His word with desire to humbly serve, honor, follow and obey Him are essential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
