**Ezekiel 18:6** — *"He does not eat at the mountain or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor's wife or approach a woman during her period."*
A righteous man, according to Ezekiel, is defined not by grand declarations — but by what he *refuses*.
This passage is part of a longer covenant portrait: God, through the prophet, sketches the contours of a life that honors Him through deliberate restraint. Worship undivided. Loyalty to covenant. Boundaries honored, even privately.
Notice — no audience witnesses these choices. No one applauds the man who walks past the idol. No one sees him honor what is sacred. Yet God sees, and God names it *righteousness*.
Scripture reminds us that holiness is often less about what we pursue and more about what we lay down — quietly, faithfully, before the Lord alone.
Walk with that truth today, and let it shape what you choose when no one is watching.
