I always seem to forget (despite the many times we have gone over this term) that righteousness means right relationship. Each time that I am reminded of righteousness meaning right relationship I am in awe and a bit of shock. That’s it!? Right relationship, that simple?? It is like a deep breath of fresh air, a weight lifted off of my shoulders as I am reminded to stop all striving towards the type of righteousness that the Pharisees thought was righteousness. DJ mentioned that “we can be following and conforming to the laws set by God and not be righteous [in right relationship] at all”. All things connect and flow together when I remember and am communing in right relationship with our Father.
A few points that stuck out:
-God craves right relationship as well.
-All of our longings are longings for God.
“You’re really looking for me… ask of me and I will give you living water! If you come to me you will not hunger, if you believe in me you will not thirst. Out of your inner most being there will be streams of living water!”
-God has not given up on His own hunger and thirst!
-Do not give up on your hunger and thirst for this right relationship!
