No matter what circumstance you might find yourself going through, if you are man enough to live like this you will never be shaken again.
Listen to the heart of these actions. Actions that must be born in us from a deep level of passion. As new identity emerges along with it comes new actions. Here they are:
Walking blameless.
Doing what is right.
Speaking truth.
No slander on your tongue.
Do your neighbor no wrong.
Cast no slur on your fellow man.
Despise a vile man.
Honor those who love God.
Keep your oath even when it hurts.
Lend money without taking advantage of people.
Do not accept a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.
No matter what circumstance you are experiencing. If you live in this manner you will only have one audience and that is the very one who breathed life into you. Jesus lived this way and he invites us to do the same. We screw it up all the time. But our pursuit must be to be men and women who display the very heart of God. As we transform and are renewed again and again the Spirit of God enables us to live as Christ.
I've screwed it up a thousand times. But my heart is to repent and pursue the living God. In doing so his kingdom emerges and transforms us into new creatures where the old ways of living are dead and behold there is a new man walking the earth. A new man with a new identity. A new government and authority to conquer!
These thoughts come from Psalm 15.
We will be discussing this over the next few days!
