The work of righteousness is the same world wide and not tied to any culture or people. Everybody wants to have a peaceful home. Even if you live in a literal palace....
Or in a humble hut in the bush country...
Or in the tallest highrise....
The work of living right is the same no matter where one lives on earth...
Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace;
The work of a Dr is to fix bodies, the work of a mechanic is to fix cars, the work of a judge is to fix human issues. The work of righteousness is to bring us peace. And likewise the effort that we make to put down fleshly actions- the 'job' of behaving right- IS work. To guard the mouth, rule the thoughts of the mind and control desires of the heart is full time employment! It's hard sometimes to bite the tongue, hold our thoughts and trust God in spite of the bad circumstances around us. But the sweet reward of allowing God's righteousness to reign in our lives is peace.
"...and the effect of righteousness is quietness and assurance for ever." (the long-term reward of working for God's righteousness in us is a permanent assuring quiet lifestyle) ... 18 "And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation" (working out right living daily produces peaceful homes) and in sure dwellings,(a guaranteed atmosphere at home) and in quiet resting places; (restful, calm, peaceful areas of life)
So work at living right and watch what happens at home! The Bible says... 'seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you'.
Study the Bible this year..... it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
