The question is; who is considered righteous to God?
Scripture calls some people “the righteous”: these are those whose faith in and love for God causes them to order their lives according to God’s laws; God bestows righteousness on them because he counts faith as righteousness.
Psalms 1:2 tells us that a righteous person’s delight is in the law of the Lord, And on His law [His precepts and teachings] he [habitually] meditates day and night.
1 John 3:7 says “Little children (believers, dear ones), do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who practices righteousness [the one who strives to live a consistently honorable life—in private as well as in public—and to conform to God’s precepts] is righteous, just as He is righteous.”
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord! Many people today might find it difficult to see themselves as “good” in the eyes of God, but did you know that in the original Greek, this word means “strong” like a warrior? When you stand strong, when you fight the good fight of faith, you are giving God something to work with.
He meets your faith and directs your steps. He’s making a way when there seems to be no way. He’s clearing a path for you, and He is delighting in you. That means He is pleased with your attitude of courage. He is pleased that you are taking a stand for what is right. He is pleased that you are putting Him first place and relying completely on Him.
Remember, God loves your passion for Him. He loves it when you come boldly to His throne of grace. He is honored when you stand and fight the good fight of faith. If you are facing difficulty today, know that God wants to lift you up and give you His strength.
Be confident in knowing that He is ordering your steps; and when God is leading you, He’s always leading you in the path of victory!
LET US PRAY
Father, thank You for giving me Your strength. I choose to stand strong in You no matter what is going on around me. I choose Your ways and thank You for ordering my steps. I bless You and praise You for Your goodness and faithfulness in Jesus’ mighty name, I pray. Amen 
Have a blessed day
