Ready Reckoner Teaching Chart: Promises for the Righteous: Anchors for a Faithful Life

-


The Bible consistently presents righteousness not as moral perfection, but as a life aligned with God—trusting Him, walking in His ways, and returning to Him in repentance when we fall. Flowing from this relationship are remarkable promises that sustain, guide, and strengthen God’s people. The teaching chart “Promises for the Righteous in the Bible” gathers these assurances into a single visual witness to God’s faithfulness.

At the foundation is God’s nearness and care. Scripture reminds us that the Lord’s eyes are on the righteous and His ears attentive to their cry (Psalm 34). This does not mean the absence of suffering. In fact, the chart wisely pairs nearness with deliverance in trouble, acknowledging that “many are the afflictions of the righteous”—yet none of them escape God’s notice or redemptive hand.

The promises also speak to everyday life. Provision and sustenance assure us that God does not abandon His people to hunger or neglect. Guidance and direction affirm that even when the road is unclear, the path of the righteous grows brighter with time. Like a tree planted by streams of water, the righteous experience stability and fruitfulness—growth that may be slow, but is deep and enduring.

Internally, righteousness bears the fruit of peace and inner security. The boldness of the righteous does not come from self-confidence, but from trust in God. This trust fuels answered prayer, reminding us that prayer is not empty speech, but a powerful communion with a listening God.

The final promises lift our eyes beyond the present. Vindication and justice belong to the Lord, and hope beyond death assures us that righteousness is not wasted. The righteous will shine in God’s kingdom, crowned with eternal life.

Together, the chart and Scripture proclaim a vital truth: God’s promises are not transactional rewards for good behavior. They flow from who God is—faithful, just, compassionate, and good—and they invite us to live anchored in His grace.

 “On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people, and there at Shechem he reaffirmed for them decrees and laws.” — Joshua 24:25 “यहोशूले त्‍यही दिन मानिसहरूसँग करार बाँधे, र शेखेममा तिनीहरूका निम्ति विधि र विधान बनाए।” — यहोशू २४:२५ The theme “Faith and Faithfulness: The Covenant” reminds us of God’s unchanging relationship with His people throughout Scripture. A covenant is not merely a contract—it is a sacred bond grounded in trust, love, and divine promise . From Noah to Abraham, Moses, David , and finally Jesus Christ , each covenant revealed a new depth of God’s faithfulness and grace. In Joshua 24 , at Shechem—the Valley of Generations , Joshua gathered all Israel and renewed their covenant with God. He reminded them of the Lord’s faithful acts and called them to serve Him alone. The people responded, “We will serve the Lord our God and obey Him.” (Joshua 24:24) Today, this message calls us to renew our covenant with God and our families. Like Joshua, we can de...

Psalms 78 1 Give ear, O my people,  to  my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth in a  parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, 3 Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide  them  from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the  Lord , And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done. 5 For  He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That  they should make them known to their children; 6 That the generation to come might know  them, The children  who  would be born, That  they may arise and declare  them  to their children, 7 That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments. Psalm 78 reminds us that every generation has a sacred duty—to pass on the knowledge of God and His mighty works so that the next generat...

Luke 1:37 “When Little Faith Meets a Great God”

-

In every season of life, God gently invites us to trust Him more deeply. The story of Mary in Luke 1 and Jesus’ teachings on “little faith” throughout the Gospels remind us that faith is not about the size of our confidence but the surrender of our hearts. “For with God nothing will be impossible” (Luke 1:37) is not just a verse—it is a divine promise that stands firm across generations. Mary’s response to the angel is a beautiful picture of humble faith. She did not fully understand God’s plan, yet she said, “I am the Lord’s servant… let it be to me according to your word.” Her faith was not loud or complicated. It was simple, surrendered, and rooted in complete humility— Fully Abandoned In Total Humility. That is FAITH. Jesus repeatedly addressed His disciples as “you of little faith”—not to shame them, but to draw them into deeper dependence on Him. When they worried about food and clothing (Matthew 6), when fear overwhelmed them in the storm (Matthew 8), when doubt made Peter ...
