Do right

Always do the right thing,
     and you will live;
     keep on doing wrong,
     and you will die.

~ Proverbs 11:19 (CEV)

God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice,
     for they will be satisfied.
~ Matthew 5:6 (NLT)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Do right and experience God's favor.
PRAYER
God, I know that my relationship with you is totally dependent on your grace. But I also know that some of the things I think and do seem to disrupt that experience. I want my life to be all -- 100% -- about hungering and thirsting for your ways. I can't make that happen on my own, so I throw myself on your mercy. And I ask that you would continue to shape my life so that I am longing for the things which you desire. May your justice and righteousness flow freely through me so that I'm not only blessed, but so that I am also a blessing to those around me. Amen.
