DAILY MEDITATIONS ON THE PSALMS

Each morning I spend 30 minutes, more or less, researching and writing on a passage of scripture. This is principally a form of spiritual self-discipline. But comments and questions are welcome.

Happy are those who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times. (Psalm 106: 3)

Another translation: How blessed are those who keep justice, who practice righteousness at all times.

To be blessed or happy is derived from the Hebrew verb ashar which means to make progress, to continue walking, or to advance along a straight path.

Such progress is the outcome of consistently fulfilling our individual purpose in a way that helpfully reflects and constructs good relationships.

My righteousness - the true self that God intends - is meant to be expressed and fulfilled.

How I live out my righteousness should be considerate of others, help others engage their own righteousness, and be an expression of God's love.
