As Kingdom Citizens, our relationship with our Heavenly Father calls us to embody righteousness, setting us apart from worldly ways. Embracing righteousness aligns us with God's will and brings profound peace. As Psalm 85:10 GNB beautifully states: "Love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will embrace."

I praise the Lord, because he guides me, and in the night my conscience warns me. I am always aware of the Lord's presence; he is near, and nothing can shake me. And so I am thankful and glad, and I feel completely secure, because you protect me from the power of death. I have served you faithfully, and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead. You will show me the path that leads to life; your presence fills me with joy and brings me pleasure forever."
