KEEPING OUT THE WEDGE

KEEPING OUT THE WEDGE


by Gail Rodgers (http://christianwomentoday.com/devotionsgail/)

One of the quickest ways to interrupt your relationship with God is to allow a wedge to come between you and someone else. It's a sure way that the enemy of your soul can cool your heart toward God and reduce your testimony of love to a watching world.

Psalm 15 is a beautiful guideline for those who want to keep their open line to God. Listen...

"LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?

He whose walk is blameless (without rebellion)

and who does what is righteous,

who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue,

who does his neighbor no wrong

and casts no slur on his fellowman,

who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD,

who keeps his oath even when it hurts,

who lends his money without interest

and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things will never be shaken." ~ Psalm 15

Prayer: Father God, May my heart be Yours today.
Keep my attitude free from rebellion
Help me to do what pleases You in my actions.
Keep my words truthful and loving.
Help my motives to be pure and my comments to be life-giving.
Help me not to tolerate evil and to honor those who lift up Your name.
May I be one who keeps my word, generous and trustworthy.
May my heart be steadfast and open to You every day in every way.
In Jesus' strong name I pray, amen.

Questions to Ponder and Discuss: Who can dwell in God's presence? When your faith is shaky how can this Scripture help identify a possible cause? Are you willing to let God look deeply in your heart and spur you on?
