Along with looking up our text, I stumbled across Psalm 15:2. Again, I am going to dissect this verse, in my endeavor to bring to light the different aspects of this verse.

WALKING UPRIGHTLY
Need I reveal more? This phrase is self explanatory. To be honest with you in basic terms it means to be your best at doing the Word on any subject. I am not talking about a lackadaisical walk or being slipshod in your presentation of the Word. In short be doers of the Word. (James 1:22).

WORKING RIGHTEOUSNESS
When we were born again we were declared righteous. Now that we have this affirmation it is our responsibility to work in conjunction with all that Jesus went to the Cross for. Stop and think about it, because of the sacrifice of one man – The Lord Jesus Christ, many have been set free, delivered from darkness. It is our duty to live everything that our Lord and Savior intended for us to live.

SPEAKING TRUTH IN YOUR HEART
Jesus said in John 17:17 that God’s Word was Truth. It is important that we speak His Word to ourselves on a frequent basis. Speaking Truth in your heart in my humble opinion is meditation. No, I am not talking about sitting in one spot in deep contemplation. That is part of it, but the exercise is not inclusive without saying His Word, to you. I am talking about saying The Word of God to yourself, as a habitual underpinning. It’s an inside job.

Psalm 84:11 (KJV)
(11) For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

I was awakened early one morning. Immediately my mind went to our text. As I pondered upon it I decided to look it up and gaze my eyes upon it. The phrase that got my attention was the later part of this verse. There is a lot to be said about that portion of this verse let alone the first part of this scripture.

My question to you is what are you contenting for, or believing God for, for Him to do on behalf of you? He said that He would hold no good thing from us, if we are walking uprightly. There is a condition with this verse. I can’t help but think of another scripture that is found in John 15:7 which plainly says if you abide in Me and My Word abides in you, ask what you will, it shall be done unto you. Wow, I believe I will say that again, WOW! If we know we are meeting, or have met the conditions, we can rest assure our petitions will be met (Psalm 20:5 * 1 John 15:5).

There are many scriptures that aid us in meeting the conditions that we can’t miss the chance of having our request answered, if we are walking uprightly.

Psalm 15:2 (KJV)
(2) He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

1. There are people who love you dearly, but just don’t know how to show it.

2. Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want to be loved,doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.

3. You cannot make someone love you; all you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to the other individual.

The Highest Degree of Love is The God Kind of Love. One of the Greek words for the English word for Love is Agape. Agape will have many levels of which we will discuss.

1. A Forgiving Love:

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said “Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a permanent attitude.”

Learning how to forgive is the smartest thing you can do. Recent research shows that holding on to anger increases your chances of a heart attack as well as cancer, high blood pressure; high cholesterol and other illnesses. Forgiveness boosts your self esteem and lowers your blood pressure and heart rate. Forgiveness also helps you sleep better at night and boosts a positive change in your attitude. Forgiveness is a decision you make to give up your anger and feelings of revenge (Romans 12:17-21).

2. An Endless Love:

Enduring forever; eternal, having no end in space. It forms a closed loop or circle.
Much like a wedding ring has no beginning and no end. The God Kind of Love has no end. There is not one thing you can do to change God’s Love for you; it is eternal.

3. A Selfless Love:

Concerned for others; not for one’s own advantage, pleasure or comfort. The highest degree of love enables us to run the way of God’s Commandments. The highest degree of love will always be based on principle—not emotion. It grows out of respect for the admirable qualities of others. The highest type of love will always recognize something of value in the person that is being loved -AWM

I don’t care what we face there is more with us, than the enemies arrayed against us. Think about it!
