Proverbs 21:21

He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

When I was young, at different times I would have nearly the same dream. I would see a nickel or a penny and bend over to pick it up. Then I would see another and another. As soon as I would pick up one, I would see another. Spiritual blessings are like that; follow righteousness, then you find mercy; then you find life, then righteousness and honor: and on it goes. These blessings are cumulative, and they are all bound up in Christ. Follow honesty, mercy, righteousness and you progress to righteousness, life, and honor. These are all fruits of the same tree, and they all flow from a relationship with Jesus. If you have Him, these fruits will be present in your life, because, “He that has the Son, has LIFE’’.
