Passage Read: Psalm 15-18
Meditation Verses: 17:2-6

Thought

David had confidence to invite God's judgment on him because he was sure that he walked faithfully in the Lord's ways. He did not fear the Lord's judgment, but rather was confident that the Lord would hear his every prayer and answer him, because he lived by the word of the Lord. That tells me that such faithfulness is in reach of even me, that even I can walk in His ways so faithfully that I too need not fear His judgment, but can look forward to His favor wherever I pray to Him.

Application

So listen to His Word and do what it says. Psalm 15 is a great place to start. Just thinking in terms of doing no harm to anyone is a good place to start as well. "Love does no harm to a neighbor, therefore, love is the fulfillment of the Law." Romans 8:10. Start by just doing no harm, then add on doing good as God defines it, and I can't go wrong. Care more about people than any early ambition, and I'll be fine!
