Seek Righteous From the LORD

“¹³⁷Righteous are you, O LORD,

and right are your rules.”

— Psalm 119:137 (ESV)

Go directly to the source. No reason to look anywhere else, the LORD is your first and only stop.

I work in a corporate world and as such there is a chain of command that is traditionally followed to get answers and seek advice. One starts with their peer, then their immediate supervisor, then the next level, and so on until the answer is received or you have reached the top. There is no need and it is not proper to skip everyone and start with the top.

Well, we do not live in a corporate world when it comes to our spiritual lives as Christians. It used to be that way before the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. But the New Covenant removes all the bureaucracy and layers of intercession. We now have direct access to the top. We now have the open invitation and expectation to go directly to the LORD for answers and to seek advice. He is the source of all creation and we should seek Him out for the answers. As the LORD is the source of all creation and He is the only one to recognize the righteous, we should be seeking understanding from Him, the source.

“¹⁴⁴Your testimonies are righteous forever;

give me understanding that I may live.”

— Psalm 119:144 (ESV)

We know that the LORD has all of the answers. He created all and knows all and unlike some in this world, He wants us to come to Him and He will not keep things from us. We are instructed and expected to come to Him for the answers to our questions and direction as to where to and how to proceed. Yes, sometimes it does seem as though we are not getting straight answers and frankly even this morning in my prayers, I asked Him to hit me over the head with direction as I do not so easily see or hear or understand things when He whispers. But, I know that He will give me the answers to the questions I ask. I have to remember that with the LORD, I can and am expected to come directly to Him and He will not turn me away.

Where are you going for your answers? Are you looking to find answers from somewhere in this world and going through layers of hierarchy to get there? What if in your spiritual life, you were to go directly to the source of all, God the Father, as He wants to hear from you?
