Blameless walk

“he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.”

“He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart; “

 

Psalms 15:1
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.

Proverbs 2:7-8
he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.

Whoever walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.

Revelation 22:14-15
Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.

How would you define what God expects from our life walk with Him?  Now then, how does your life mirror that definition?  If we stay in His word we will find that our definition is continuing to evolve.  Remember “precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little, there a little” this is how we will grow.  Time spent in His word will always lead us to a better understanding of Him which in turns opens our heart and mind to how we should live.  The more we read, study,  understand, and apply the more we will see room for us to grow in our love, praise, worship, hope, peace, joy……

 

My refuge, my deliverer

pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.”

Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;

Reading these verses gives us hope in no matter what comes our way God is our strength, refuge, deliverer, fortress, rock and shield.  How do we find this when things around us seem to be falling apart?  I am not sure in the heat of it we can do more than claim it and gain peace by laying it as His feet.  Trust in, rely on, and cling to Him alone.  It is a good time for those of us who’s world is not falling apart to be an encouragement to those who need it.  Stay close to God, listen for His guidance, and obey His leading.
