They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.  Psalm 36.8

The righteous have the best treatment from God. The wicked, however, receive the punishment they deserve for their mistake. But truly, we cannot understand the reason why someone stops being righteous. Besides ceasing to have the pleasure of doing what is good, this person starts to have a pain in his conscience. Undoubtedly, the wicked always lives in conflict with his interior, with a voice convincing him of the sin that he practices and of the good that he avoids.

It is fundamental that we understand that the enemy will not manage to defeat he who practices the Word. In regards to the lost, when the devil barely decides how he will punish them, they already feel the pains. Thus, they are always so scared, and some even commit terrible atrocities. Besides, the wicked never confess their sins, for they think that the confession will ruin them. Therefore, they will be destroyed.

The fullness that the Lord says that will be given to the righteous will never do any harm to them, for it means that a good God has in abundance to give to man. In fact, the Lord only has good things, and everything is in the superlative. His fullness means that He will pour out anointing all around the righteous. Therefore, the righteous should not accept to live with scarcity of peace, health, and financial resources. In God, there is abundance of goods (Dt 28.11).

The Most High’s kind acts are so many, and His gifts are so wonderful that they can be compared, in a way, to the fat that abounds in the obese. The Heavenly Father has a measureless anointing. He is abundant in everything that we need to live as blessed people. Therefore, do not be conformed to the idea that there is a divine purpose in which you will not prosper.

The Scriptures reveal that our good Father will not withhold any good to those who practice justice and fulfill His Word (Ps 84.11). If you have not had abundance of the grace of God and the gift of justice, check what you have believed, for probably you have left the Lord’s revelation aside and have focused on the religious traditions, like the things of the East (Is 2.6). Thus, return to the divine Word.

The verse that we are studying declares that God Himself will make the righteous drink from His river even before they desire to participate. Therefore, be firm in the faith and let the Spirit of God fill you with good things. Does it compensate to stay in mistake, drink and eat from the devil’s pigpen? Until when do you think that the Almighty will bear your insult? Before He puts an end to it, come back to the ways of the Lord.

There is nothing better than to practice justice. Those who do not do so, invent things that never work out. Those who bow before the Most High show by their living that it is worth to be righteous. However, if you take too long to make the decision of being righteous, it is as if you said, in other words, that you do not truly believe in God. In what do you believe?

In Christ, with love,
