Isaiah 61:10 reminds us that God has given us the gift of salvation, and as a result, we are clothed in His righteousness. This amazing gift means we are forgiven of our sins and made new in Christ. It also means that we have the power to live a life that is pleasing to God, one that is characterized by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
Living a life of righteousness is not always easy, but it is worth it. We may face trials and temptations along the way, but we can take comfort in the fact that God is with us every step of the way. As we walk in His light and follow His ways, we can be sure that we are pleasing Him and fulfilling His purpose for our lives. Let us, therefore, continue to seek His face and to trust in His goodness, knowing that He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).
