The Reward of the Righteous

The Reward of the Righteous

“He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly…
his waters shall be sure”
Isaiah 33:15-16

Righteousness in our walk and in our speech is the precursor to the sure waters of the Lord. His waters flow freely from a life that is compatible with His. Righteousness brings the freedom of His Spirit to water others with the goodness and grace of God. His flow is the portion of all who walk with integrity of heart.

As we walk in His righteousness, we discover that the waters of the Lord flow in times of plenty and in times of drought. In trials, tribulations and sorrows His waters will be sure unto those who have made Him their spring and source. Sure waters are the blessing of the Lord upon His own.

Those who are His know of His provision.

Deep waters pour from deep places and rich are the blessings unto others. He gives grace to the humble and the bread of life to the wise.

“And the Lord shall guide thee continually,
and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones:
and thou shalt be like a watered garden,
and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not”
Isaiah 58:11

The reward of the righteous is God Himself.

“For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous;
with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield”
Psalm 5:12
