“In the way of righteousness there is life; along that path is immortality.”

[Proverbs 12:28 NIV]

Devotional

The book of Proverbs often paints a picture of two paths: one that leads to life and one that leads to destruction. Here, Solomon reminds us that the path of righteousness is not only the best way to live now but also the way that leads to eternal life. Choosing righteousness is not about perfection, but about walking with God, trusting His ways, and aligning our hearts with His truth.

This verse tells us that life and immortality are found in righteousness. That points us to Jesus, who is our righteousness. Through Him, we find eternal life, and through following His example, we discover the joy of living in step with God’s wisdom today. Righteousness is not a heavy burden, but a path filled with peace, purpose, and lasting hope.

When we walk in God’s way, we not only find safety and guidance for daily decisions but also assurance for eternity. Every step taken in obedience strengthens our faith and keeps us close to the One who holds the gift of everlasting life.

Reflection

Today, remember that choosing God’s way always leads to life. Each small decision to follow His Word is a step toward greater peace now and eternal joy later. Walking with Jesus means you are never on the wrong path.

Prayer

Father, thank You for showing me that the way of righteousness leads to life. Help me to walk closely with You today, trusting that Your path is best. Keep my heart steady on the road that leads to everlasting joy with You.
