Psalm 15
LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary?
LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary?
Who may live on your holy hill?
He whose walk is blameless
He whose walk is blameless
and who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from his heart
and has no slander on his tongue,
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
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 usury
who lends his money without usury
and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.
Everyone has a code of ethics/conduct/honor that they choose to live by. They determine their actions based on this code. The Knights of legends were considered to be great because of their Code. Many of our well-known historical and fictional characters lived by codes that differentiated themselves from the masses.
This psalm is a basic code to live by. My question to you and to myself is: What code to you live by? What do you base your code on? Does your code make you more of a person or just one of the masses?
