agents of righteousness

You know that some factors are a negative influence on you and you are wise to avoid them. They can be locations, persons, or situations. You could call them snares, hindrances, or stumbling blocks. They may not be sinful in their own right, but they seem designed to exploit an existing weakness in you. Flee from them. Yet they have a positive counterpart. Don’t you notice that some factors are a positive influence on you, making it easier to walk in paths of righteousness? The innocence of children and the beauty of nature are possible examples, and they may act unaware of the effect they have on you. It is worthwhile to seek such things and to seek to be an agent of righteousness for others yourself.
