In biblical context, righteousness often refers to God's moral perfection and justice. This imagery is reminiscent of John the Baptist's role in preparing the way for Jesus Christ, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/40-3.htm">Isaiah 40:3</a> and <a href="/matthew/3-3.htm">Matthew 3:3</a>. The concept of righteousness going before God implies that His actions and presence are always preceded by His just and holy nature. This aligns with the biblical theme that God’s righteousness is foundational to His covenant with His people, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/89-14.htm">Psalm 89:14</a>.<p><b>to prepare the way for His steps.</b><br>The preparation of the way for His steps indicates a path being made ready for the Lord's coming or intervention. This echoes the ancient practice of preparing roads for the arrival of a king or dignitary, ensuring a smooth and honorable passage. In a spiritual sense, it suggests that God’s righteous acts pave the way for His presence and blessings among His people. This can be connected to the prophetic imagery in <a href="/malachi/3.htm">Malachi 3:1</a>, where a messenger prepares the way for the Lord. It also points to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, whose life and ministry were marked by righteousness, preparing the way for humanity's reconciliation with God. The phrase underscores the importance of living righteously as a means of welcoming God's presence and guidance in one's life.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sons_of_korah.htm">The Sons of Korah</a></b><br>The authors of <a href="/bsb/psalms/85.htm">Psalm 85</a>, a group of Levitical singers and musicians who played a significant role in temple worship.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation to whom the Psalm is addressed, reflecting on their relationship with God and seeking restoration and favor.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in the Psalm, whose righteousness and peace are themes of hope and restoration for His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/r/righteousness_as_a_pathway.htm">Righteousness as a Pathway</a></b><br>God's righteousness is not just a characteristic but a guiding force that leads and prepares the way for His presence.
