There is a song that the late Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson sang. It was titled “Be Right”. A part of the song says, “When you see me walking along, I just want to be right!” When others look at your demeanor, what is their perception of you? We all know that a person’s perception may not be reality. But what if many are saying the same thing? Lamentations 3:40 tells us to test and examine our ways. Ultimately, Christians ought to be a reflection of Christ’s nature. He is righteous, so we must be, too. He knows your heart. You may be able to fool me or others, but God can never be fooled. He created you, and he knows everything about you (Ps. 139:1-4).
Let us remember Job’s story, for example. The Bible states that he was a devoted and righteous man who walked with God. He had found favor with the Lord. What a testament of his life to be declared righteous before God. In this lesson, you will learn about Noah’s relationship with the Lord. Just as God responded to Noah with grace, which is unmerited favor, let us also desire that. Let this lesson inspire us to emulate the righteousness of Christ by faith.
