WORSHIP AND TRUTH

 

Ps. 15:1,4c  Who may worship in your sanctuary, LORD?  Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?  …..and who keep their promises even when it hurts.

     It’s not always easy to keep your word is it?  We sometimes make promises with good intentions, but something happens that make keeping our promises difficult.  It’s easy to keep our word when things are easy for us, but it is far more difficult when keeping our word puts us into difficult or awkward situations.

     How we keep our word reflects on the condition of our heart.   A person of integrity will not let circumstances dictate how they live.  If we are right with God we will strive to do always what is right to God at all times.  God is Truth and commands us to be a people of truth as well.  Doing what we say should be a natural part of who we are.  We should always strive to keep our promises to both God and man.  Our failure to do so prevents us from drawing close to God.

    Consider this today: How many times have you made a promise to either God or man and failed to keep it?  What is the usual reason for failures?  Does it concern you at all when you fail?

    Ask the Lord to forgive you where you have failed Him in this area of your life and ask the Lord to help you do a better job of keeping your word.  It will certainly help you in your walk with Him.
