RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY WEDNESDAY 9TH AUGUST 2023.
In
our previous study, we referenced “Right Standing” as one of the attributes of
righteousness. Today, we’ll be considering another attribute of righteousness
called “Rightwiseness.” Rightwiseness is not a term that’s often used in
everyday communication, but it’s an important element of righteousness.
“Rightwise” means to be rightward; or towards the right. This, however, is not
talking about the physical position of being towards the “right-hand side.” It
refers, instead, to rightness—the ability to always be and do right in the
presence of a holy God.
Remember,
righteousness is God’s nature: His character, ability and attribute of being
right and perfect. How He thinks, what He says, and what He does is always
right, because He’s God and He could never be wrong. This quality of the
rightness of God is captured in the old English term, “rightwiseness.” God
alone knows what’s right; when He imparts His righteousness to your spirit, you
also begin to know what’s right just like Him, and you’re given the ability to
do it. The judgments of God, from thence, are wrought in your spirit. What do I
mean by the judgments of God? This has to do with how God perceives and judges
things; how He sees things and what He thinks about them. Now, because of His
nature in you, you now carry the judgments of God in your spirit.
You
have His opinions and know His will. The prophet Isaiah, speaking about the
Christ, said, “…he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove
after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor,
and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth…” (Isaiah 11:3-4). This means
He would not judge according to His senses but by the Spirit. It’s the same
with you now that Christ has been made unto you righteousness! His
“rightwiseness” and His judgments are in your spirit. You judge by the Spirit.
Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
I’m
the unveiling of the Father’s righteousness; His “rightwiseness” and sound
judgments are heard in me, seen in me, and dispensed through me. I judge by the
Spirit in righteousness, and reprove with equity because I’m the righteousness
of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
1 Corinthians 1:30 AMPC;
30 But it
is from Him that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom
from God, [revealed to us a knowledge of the divine plan of salvation
previously hidden, manifesting itself as] our Righteousness [thus making us
upright and putting us in right standing with God], and our Consecration
[making us pure and holy], and our Redemption [providing our ransom from
eternal penalty for sin].
Romans 5:1 AMPC;
Therefore,
since we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right
standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the
peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
Romans 8:30 AMPC
30 And
those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He
also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing
with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to
a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].
