NEVER BE SHAKEN

Psalm 15 (14)

O Lord, who shall dwell in Your tabernacle?
Who shall live in Your holy mountain?
He who walks blamelessly, and works righteousness,
And speaks truth in his heart,
Who does not deceive with his tongue,
Neither does evil to his neighbor;
And does not find fault with those nearest him.
He disdains those who do evil in his presence,
But he holds in honor those who fear the Lord;
He swears an oath to his neighbor and does not set it aside.
He does not lend his money at interest,
And he does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be shaken.

Personal Challenge

Jesus gave us, His followers, two commands to follow if we are to be able to proclaim that we are His followers. Love God and love our neighbor. The disciples asked as the question, "Who is my neighbor?", and to this day that question still gets asked. The answer is that everyone in this world is my neighbor. The next question is how do I treat them. This Psalm gives some great examples of how we do this. Glory be to God!
