The path of righteousness is to walk by God's side, to be committed to Him, to be loyal and faithful to Him. Covenantal loyalty to God is expressed by the covenant path which is the path of righteousness.
Five simple things to do for getting closer to God
1. Do not lie
What are the blessings of being truthful? “They will speak no lies, nor will deceit be found in their mouths. They will eat and lie down, and no one will make them afraid” Zephaniah 3:13. Therefore, refrain from uttering lies.
2. Do not refuse to help the needy
Several verses on helping the poor and the needy. Proverbs 3: 28 says, “Do not say to your neighbor, com e back later, I’ll give it tomorrow, when you now have it with you”. “He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done” Proverbs 19:17.
3. Fear the Lord
“Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands” Psalm 112: 1.
4. Have faith and do not worry
Do not worry about anything but place your trust in the amazing power of our Lord Jesus. Remember, “And without faith it is impossible to please God” Hebrews 11: 6.
5. Do not walk in the path of the wicked
Psalm 1 :1 says, “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked”. We read in Proverbs 4: 14, “Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men”. “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?” 2 Corinthians 6: 14.
