Blameless

The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them. Proverbs 20:7 NIV

I'm doomed. Chances are you are too. The Bible says there are none righteous. None. So where do these righteous people come from? How do they lead blameless lives? I want my children to be blessed as I'm sure you do. So what gives?

Just as we know there are none righteous, the Bible also tells us we are made righteous when we accept Christ as our savior and give our hearts to God. We got that covered. So let's move to the blameless part.

Are you thinking of running for office? If you are, is there anything that would cause you problems if it was made public? What about your Facebook posts? Twitter? When my potential employers were thinking about hiring me, they knew my professional attributes, but they looked into my social media pages,  even reading this blog! Lucky for me I've nothing to hide. I'm not blameless as in I've never sinned (I woke up today didn't I?). I'm blameless in that I know my heart is an open book. There is nothing in my life that's so heinous or bad that I wouldn't want it shared. There is a peace that comes with living such that you don't apologize for living. This is living blameless.

We are made righteous. We live blameless. Our children see how we live, are brought up to live the same way, and are blessed in God's eyes because of it. It carries from generation to generation.

Don't be righteous. Be made righteous and live blameless.
