Righteousness is living your life according to the will for God.  Trying to be righteous, is the act of living and doing the right things in life , in the eyes of God. When we're living our life according to the word of God; there will be stumbling blocks place in our way, and we'll have endless mountains to climb.

By the grace of God , we'll over come  all obstacles in our way.  Living the right way is very hard for some people, but if we believe in the righteousness of God , living right isn't a problem.  I have always  tried to lived my life according to God's word, but Not without faltering along the way.  When we falter, we get our bearings and try  doing the right thing again, until we get it right.
