“Whoever pursues righteousness and unfailing love will find life, righteousness, and honor.” (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21‬:‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

- What are you pursuing?

- To pursue something means that you are earnestly seeking it.

- Most of the time we pursue fame, position, popularity and money.

- But what if you actually get what you are chasing after?

- Think about it, you may pursue a position at work that provides great income but at the end of the day may not give you any peace.

- You may successfully get what you pursued but be unfulfilled.

- That’s an example of pursuing the wrong thing.

- God tells us to pursue righteousness and unfailing love.

- The results of pursuing righteousness is that you will find it and life, and honor

- Honor comes along with pursuing the right thing.

- Proverbs 15:9 says, “The Lord loves one who pursues righteousness [personal integrity, moral courage and honorable character].”

- ‭‭The Lord loves it when you chase after righteousness because it produces a fulfilling life without the pain of bad choices and bad consequences.

- Matthew 5:6 says, ““Blessed [joyful, nourished by God’s goodness] are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness [those who actively seek right standing with God], for they will be [completely] satisfied.”

- ‭When you pursue the right thing, you will be nourished by Gods goodness and completely satisfied both emotionally and spiritually.

- If you pursue the right thing today, it will result in right results and fulfillment!

- When you pursue the wrong thing, you will end up unfulfilled and empty!

- Today, take the advice of this proverb and pursue righteousness!

- You will not be disappointed!

- Have a great Tuesday!
