Scripture: Psalms 15, O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill? He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart; who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend; in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the Lord; who swears to his own hurt and does not change; who does not put out his money at interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
Thoughts: I don’t know how many time I read this Psalm and not gotten anything out of it. I may have just thought it was just another time David was singing about God or his situation. I know for a long time I thought of most everything in the old testament to be useless in a new testament world. Here David is talking about sojourning and living in tents 500 years or so before Paul teaches we are only sojourning here on earth and living in our flesh tents. Maybe it is through Holy Spirit speaking to me during my prayer time but there is also an undertone of Obedience to God in this. And I was shown and reminded of the Freedom that we are given through the obedience to God’s word. His word promises freedom and power but asks for obedience. We can be saved and not walk in the freedom and power He has for us.
Prayer: Father I thank you for the freedom and power that you give me and lead me in. I thank you for the provisions and blessings you pour out on us. I as that you help me to see the places that need your correction and help me to walk in you freedom and power.
