Explanation:
These words were written under the influence of The Holy Spirit
of God by King Solomon, the wisest man to ever live. This proverb of Solomon teaches that the
pursuit of God’s righteousness and love will lead not only to righteousness and
love, but will also result in a long life, prosperity, and honor.
Application:
The pursuit of God’s righteousness will result in much more than what we are seeking. The reward for seeking His righteousness will be much greater than we expected. By seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all of the other things that we want will be given to us. (Matthew 6:33) If we truly seek The Lord God, we will find Him. (Deuteronomy 4:29) The Lord knows those who seek Him. (Psalm 14:2) Those of us who seek Him will be blessed. (Psalm 34:10 and Lamentations 3:25) If we humble ourselves and seek The Lord, then our prayers will be answered and our sins will be forgiven. (2 Chronicles 7:14) The pursuit of His righteousness will result in our being showered with His blessings. (Hosea 10:12)
