Psalm 15
Today's Scripture

A psalm of David.

As we prepare our hearts to enter God's sanctuary each Sunday, and especially this week as Americans celebrate Thanksgiving and praise the Lord for his bounty, I think it is important to remember the holiness of God and how we should approach him. Through the blood of Jesus, we are made holy, and this psalm lists some of those characteristics.

We are to have a blameless walk and live in righteousness. We are to speak the truth, with no slander, despise what is evil but honor and fear the Lord. We are to lend money without charging unreasonable interest rates, and not accept bribes. If we do all these things, we will not be shaken. God can enable us to be humble and pure when we turn to him, in gratitude for not only his material blessings, but his gift of salvation and the cloak of righteousness he gives us as well. Praise his name!
