Comment: The text for today states that God Almighty is righteous and takes delight in persons who give themselves to righteousness. Moses the prophet describing God said: “He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.” – Deuteronomy 32:4.
Elihu attested to the fact that God cannot be associated with evil when he declared: “Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. For the works of man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.” – Job 34:10-12.
Concerning those who do righteousness, God’s countenance is continually on them for good. (Psalm 146:8). Truly, God delights in those who give themselves to righteousness and He will show His favour on them by granting them their desires – Proverbs 10:24,28.
In times of economic difficulties and other challenges, God Almighty will come to the aid of the righteous and help them out of their troubles. King Solomon stated: “The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked”. – Proverbs 10:3; Psalm 34:15,17,19.
