Read Psalms 5.
The Lord is righteous. He abounds in so much righteousness, that He cannot have any evil in His presence. We can only be in His presence because of His steadfast and abundant love for us. The Lord also leads us in the paths of righteousness, and is the only One Who can. His teachings are what we need to follow. Other teachings lead the way to destruction, and there is no truth in them. Once we follow His teachings, we find God's joy, God's protection, God's refuge, God's blessings, and God's favor.
One of the slang uses of "righteous" means absolutely genuine or wonderful. That describes God pretty well. Wonderful. Absolutely genuine. God is God. God is the only real thing, sorry, Coke. He is the Beginning and the End. He is who He is. Nothing can change the absolute. There is question we have to ask ourselves. Do we want to be genuine or not? I need to explain something. God created the heavens. Does He know how they work? Of course. God created the universe. Doe He know how that works? Of course. God created everything, and He knows how it all works. God created man, and He knows how we work too. He created us not to know everything, so He gave us a book filled with how things work. This book will lead us in the paths of righteousness, and grants us access to the promises God gives to those that follow: joy, protection, refuge, blessings, and favor (plus more). The question is... are we going to follow it?
