TITLE: A Psalm Of David
Scripture: Psalm 15:1 - 5
God’s Message / God’s Commands / God’s Promises:
→ Psalm 15 is a psalm of many lessons. David enumerated some of the ways of the righteous, which we all should imitate. Jesus is preparing a room for us but He prepares a place in our sacred home in the holy mountain with Him and we ought to be worthy of the place ready for us. David pointed out some of the ways that we ought to consciously decide each day.
1) walk blamelessly - doing what is right; choosing what is right and just daily and speaking the truth from our hearts. No lies, no pretentions, no complications. Purely good, right, just and the truth - simple!
2) Speaks no wrong or slander to another - we ought to live not only blamelessly, being cautious of our own decisions for our selves every day but also to be consciously choosing to never speak ill or do anything bad to others.
3) Honors the Lord and those who fears Him - we ought to support those who fear God and despise the vile person. Despire means to regard as worthless or distasteful, or to look down on with contempt
David does not encourage us to look down on someone but our reaction to wickedness or evil or vile should be this. But not towards the man of God. Many times, we tend to tolerate sin because we think that the man doing it deserves mercy and he does... but never to a point of tolerating or compromising or accepting him as the wicked that he is. We are better than that. God teaches us to never accept the worst of man because man is not evil or wicked and so we ought to despise it. We ought to despise evil and help one another bring out the best of themselves and not just accept their sins.
4) Remained committed to our words and promises - God is a the God of truth and we ought to be the same when it comes to our word and promises
These are people who will dwell in the place God prepared for us and the best thing about people who chooses to walk blamelessly, speak no ill or evil towards others, honors God and those who fear Him, keep his words and commitment and remain true to his promises, we will never be shaken! Hallelujah!
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for these lessons. I know I need to be reminded of these every day. Help me Lord to choose what is right daily that I may walk blamelessly, speaks no ill or evil towards others, honors You and those who fear You but despises evil, and keeps my promises and committed to my words. So in whatever circumstances I am in, i will not be shaken and I will be ready to dwell in the place You have prepared for me. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
