The Way of Righteousness Is Life

[Thompson, Darryl]

The Way of Righteousness Is Life
 
In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is
no death. Prov. 12:28  

     Another year now opens its fair unwritten pages before you. The
recording angel stands ready to write. Your course of action will
determine what shall be traced by him. You may make your future life
good or evil; and this will determine for you whether the year upon
which you have just entered will be to you a happy new year. It is in
your power to make it such for yourself and for those around you.  

     Let patience, long-suffering, kindness, and love become a part of
your very being; then whatsoever things are pure and lovely and of good
report will mature in your experience.  

     Angels of God are waiting to show you the path of life. . . .
Decide now, at the commencement of the new year, that you will choose
the path of righteousness, that you will be earnest and true-hearted,
and that life with you shall not prove a mistake. Go forward, guided by
the heavenly angels; be courageous; be enterprising; let your light
shine; and may the words of inspiration be applicable to you--"I write
unto you, young men, because you are strong and have overcome the wicked
one."  

     If you have . . . given yourself to Christ, you are a member of the
family of God, and everything in the Father's house is for you. All the
treasures of God are open to you, both the world that now is and that
which is to come. The ministry of angels, the gift of His Spirit, the
labors of His servants--all are for you. The world, with everything in
it, is yours so far as it can do you good. Even the enmity of the wicked
will prove a blessing, by disciplining you for heaven. If "ye are
Christ's" "all things are yours."
