Fearless-Factor - Psalm 15:4

How Strong are you? How solid is your foundation? Are you a man of your word? Are you a Spiritually Healthy man? Psalm 15 reads 1Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? 2He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart 3and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, 4who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the Lord, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, 5who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken. Wow...I am so far from a righteous man. I mean I have done wrong, I have lied, I have spoken about others, I have broken my word, just as late as yesterday...Sorry Greg. If I had money to lend the old BC (Before Christ) Trey would not be the guy you asked for a loan. I have taken bribes, even though it was from one sister to another as a kid...it still counts. The only thing I have done consistently was have a fear of the Lord. But on this list that would make me 1 for 10 and that isn't good on any level. The reason I share this is that, I needed and still need a Savior. I need Christ every day. I need to keep my focus on Him. These 10 things may be easy for some, but were you that good your entire life. The answer is no. You need a Savior too...and you need Him daily. The Fearless Factor for today is Psalms 15:4 "Despises a vile man but honors those who fear the Lord." Be thankful for your brothers in Christ. Being the week of Thanksgiving, take a moment to say thank you to the guys that lift you up daily or weekly. Psalm 15 is a Prescription of a Spiritually Healthy Man. This is one Prescription we need to take daily. Without Christ in our lives we can never achieve any of these consistently, that is why God places special people in our lives to encourage us to be MORE LIKE CHRIST. I Love you Guys and I am blessed to call you Brothers. Be Fearless and Quiet No More. Your Brother in Christ, Trey Ore
