DAILY MEDITATIONS ON THE PSALMS

Each morning I spend 30 minutes, more or less, researching and writing on a passage of scripture. This is principally a form of spiritual self-discipline. But comments and questions are welcome.

O Lord, who may abide in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy hill? Those who walk blamelessly, and do what is right, and speak the truth from their heart; who do not slander with their tongue, and do no evil to their friends, nor take up a reproach against their neighbours; in whose eyes the wicked are despised, but who honour those who fear the Lord; who stand by their oath even to their hurt; who do not lend money at interest, and do not take a bribe against the innocent. Those who do these things shall never be moved. (Pslam 15)

What can we do to enter into relationship with God?

We are to live with integrity, seeking to fulfill God's intent for wholeness.

We are to act authentically and consistently with God's purposes for us.

We are to speak the truth and avoid saying anything that attacks the integrity of others.

We are to act with respect toward our friends and neighbors.

We are to be cautious regarding those who always claim to have been hurt and never admit error.

We are to honor those who honor God.

We are to stand by our promises even when it hurts us.

We are not to exploit those in trouble.

We are not to attack or undermine the innocent.

Above is Lines of Integrity by Pietro Mantia.
