I have a friend who, when things seemed to unexpectedly work out in his favor, would jokingly say it was due to his “clean living and high moral fiber.” This would always get a chuckle from those around.
Psalm 27:11 actually says something similar. “Light shines on the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.”
In Romans 1:17 Paul reminds us that we are “made righteous by faith.”
So when things go well for us, we can say, “God’s light and joy are on us due to our faith in him.”
Dear Lord, how wonderful it is when your light shines on us and we can know the joy of being right with you. Thank you for this blessing. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

I have failed miserably in the past 4 days. It is easy for me to be kind to most everyone and it animates positivity around others. I feel the blessing from God.
Yet when people are rude to me then …….not so much. As the bible says that it is easy to love those who love you. So every time the real test comes along, I fail.
Come Holy Spirit and pour out in me The fire of Your love so I may be more like Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray.
