God Made Man Upright
The Lord created the universe from His righteousness and for His righteousness.
Righteousness is the foundation of His throne, His measuring line of behavior. (See Psalm 89:14, Isaiah 28:17)
Man has departed God to the poverty of his own judgements, and cracked his own paths.
Since Eden man has always searched for other ways to life. He has devised countless different and hopeless schemes.
This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes. (Ecclesiastes 7:29)
BUT - righteousness remains the seal of heaven and paves the wise ways across earth.
When the Lord returns He will restore righteousness and remove all wickedness.
Should a man guard righteousness, righteousness will guard him.
Righteousness is the way of yesterday, the road of today and the fixture of tomorrow.
