Righteous

Psalm 1:6 "For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish." In my Bible, there is a sidenote in this verse referencing Psalm 37:18 "The days of the blameless are known to the Lord, and their inheritance will endure forever." I read this a couple times then read the next one and thought how much more it goes with 1:6....Psalm 37:19 "In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty." WOW!

But how are we, humans, righteous? The Bible says none are righteous in Romans 3:10...But there is hope!

Romans 3:20 "Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather through the lay we become conscious of sin."
Romans 3:22 "This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believes."

The Lord watches over the ways of the righteous, the righteous have become righteous through faith in Jesus Christ...Who's watching you?
