The righteous man who walks in integrity and lives life in accord with his [godly] beliefs-- How blessed [happy and spiritually secure] are his children after him [who have his example to follow]. PROVERBS 20:7 AMP
The Righteous - it has nothing to do with personal achievement or efforts; it has all to do with who God is. When a man is referred to as 'Righteous', it is not about the man's ability but God's capacity and empowerment. I do not come seeking God on my own terms; I seek him on his own terms. When the identity is right, then the lifestyle will be right. The Righteous man lives on the strength of the inner Presence. His life is guided by the One who is able to sustain and uphold him.
Life itself is also an investment. All I do is a seed of a kind; and there will be a harvest of the seeds sometime in the future. It does not matter how long it takes or how well the seeds are hidden; someone somewhere will reap the benefits or detriments of the actions being done now. My parents could do their own part, I have a choice to follow. I must also remember that just as I go will reap from the labour of my parents, so would the children coming after me do the same. I had better live right. His time of favour is here.
