Scripture Reference: ( Psalm 15)
IN TODAY’S PSALM, David describes a life of integrity—it is marked by truthfulness, righteousness and; honesty. To develop and maintain this God-pleasing lifestyle, we must… • FORMULATE BELIEFS BASED ON SCRIPTURE.
Our need for a Savior, Christ’s death on our behalf, salvation by faith alone and, the Father’s gift of eternal life are foundational truths upon which to build our life. As we align our thinking with God’s Word, our identity and priorities should flow from these tenets.
• SUBMIT TO CHRIST’S LORDSHIP.
Jesus commands us to deny ourselves and follow Him ( Mark 8:34). Wholehearted commitment to Him helps us choose righteousness over temptations.
• BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH GODLY INDIVIDUALS.
The influence of mature Christians strengthens our dedication and obedience to The LORD.
• ACKNOWLEDGE OUR MISTAKES.
Everyone misses the mark at times. We are to confess any known sin to God ( 1 John 1:9) and turn away from the wrong behavior and attitudes that ensnares us occasionally. We must also ask God for forgiveness from anyone we have wronged ( humble is the way beloveds).
God understands our struggle to resist temptation and choose righteousness ( right standing with God) and; He has sent His Holy Spirit to aid and assist us to live with integrity. Today, simply ask Him to help you embody the values in Psalm 15.
You’re God’s chosen generation, walk, talk and live a life of integrity and holiness; in Jesus’ Name, amen.
Yours in Christ
