Honing Our Faith

Psalm 15 ends with these words, “He who does these things shall never be moved.”

The Hebrew for moved means: to totter, shake, slip, be overthrown, to dislodge, let fall, drop, be greatly shaken

Here are the prerequisites. As you read them ask the Holy Spirit to hold them up like a mirror before you

Walk uprightly

Work righteousness (Isaiah 32:17)

Speak truth in our heart 

Does not backbite 

Does neighbor no evil

Does not gossip

Despises vileness 

Honors those who fear the Lord

Heart of integrity 

Lends without interest

Cannot be bribed 

As I read Psalm 45 the Holy Spirit stopped me at verse 7. Though it’s written about the Lord we can apply it

“…love righteousness and hate wickedness..anointed with the oil of gladness…”

Hebrew for gladness takes us back to joy, exultation, and rejoicing. Living in the joy of the Lord is the high watermark of an authentic follower of Jesus. It’s to be our default
