"Lord, who may go and find refuge and shelter in your tabernacle up on your holy hill? Anyone who leads a blameless life and is truly sincere. Anyone who refuses to slander others, does not listen to gossip, never harms his neighbor, speaks out against sin, criticizes those committing it, commends the faithful followers of the Lord, keeps a promise even if it ruins him, does not crush his debtors with high interest rates, and refuses to testify against the innocent despite the bribes offered him—such a man shall stand firm forever." Psalm 15:1-5 (TLB)
Are we leading a blameless life? Do we slander others, gossip, harm others physically or verbally? Are we speaking out against sin? Do we uphold those who follow Christ? Do we expect more from others than we are willing to give? Do we take bribes? God's word is like a mirror, it reflects what we truly look like. If we want to "stand firm" there are some personal characteristics we need to work on... ME INCLUDED.
