The Good Word

December 14, 2008 — Leave a comment

I once heard it said that you should read 5 Psalms and 1 Proverb each day. I am trying to make that a habit each morning now before starting the day. On Saturday morning, I read the one below and found it so rich with instruction. I had to share.

Psalm 15

1 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary?
Who may live on your holy hill?

2 He whose walk is blameless
and who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from his heart

3 and has no slander on his tongue,
who does his neighbor no wrong
and casts no slur on his fellowman,

4 who despises a vile man
but honors those who fear the LORD,
who keeps his oath
even when it hurts,

5 who lends his money without usury
and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things
will never be shaken
.

(emphasis mine)
