Righteousness is something you must allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life.

Instead of sowing holy thoughts, are you allowing evil and sinful thoughts to grow in your mind? Are you allowing lust to grow unchecked within you? Does enmity, bitterness, jealousy or unforgiveness remain in your life?

Jesus said if we first seek God and His righteousness, everything else will follow. (Matthew 6:33)

If you want to harvest righteousness in your life tomorrow, you must plant seeds of righteousness today.

It's easy to become so busy that you are oblivious to those in need. Your schedule can become so full of accomplishing good things that you are no help to the people around you. God is at work in the lives of your friends, your neighbors, your family members. He may ask you to interrupt your day long enough to join Him as He ministers to them.

Nothing on your agenda, no matter how pressing, is reason enough to ignore the voice of God when He tells you to stop and help.
