Character 101

Scritpure  "...who walks with God?...he who walks with integrity."  Psalm 15:1-2

Observation  The writer of this short Psalm reflects on the "who" and "how" of walking close to God.  First, he asks a great question "Who are the people who come to know and enjoy God?"  The answer is embeded in the "how"; i.e. "they walk with integrity."

Application  I note that it is the character quality of integrity rather than the unrealistic quality of perfection that equips you and me to walk with God.  I think at the root of integrity is a cultivated faith based lifestyle that learns to practice the presence of God at all times.  Think of it - God with you at all times - never alone, always cared for, a friend and leader who loves you no matter what!

Prayer  Father, as I write this SOAP I reflect on my walk with You.  Often I wander away from where I think You are and get tangled up in all sorts of things.  You draw me back each time with open arms - no questions asked.  Thank You!  Help me toady to remain close to You!
