Numbers 25:11
“Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites. Since he was as zealous for my honor among them as I am, I did not put an end to them in my zeal.”_
Zeal for righteousness is not about self-righteous anger or reckless actions but about aligning our hearts with God’s holiness and seeking His honor above all. When we act in ways that uphold God’s standard, it has a ripple effect—it can avert judgment, bring about reconciliation, and demonstrate God’s love to others. Like Phinehas, we are called to have a passionate commitment to what is right, guided by the Spirit of God.
#Food4Thought: *Our stand for righteousness may not always be dramatic, but in a world often indifferent to God’s ways, it is transformative and necessary.*
PRAYER: _Lord, help me to boldly stand for righteousness, even in the face of opposition or compromise. IJN_
