How Do YOU Measure Up?

We often tend to measure ourselves against the performance of other people. We’re more intelligent, or dumber, or prettier, or more musical or artistic. 

But God measures us in other ways. The psalmist phrases it so:

O Lord, who may abide in Thy tent?

Who may dwell on Thy holy hill?

He who:

*  Walks with integrity

*  Works righteousness

*  Speaks truth in his heart

*  Does not slander with his tongue

*  Does no evil to his neighbor

*  Doesn’t take up a reproach against his friend

*  Despises a reprobate

*  Honors those who fear the Lord

*  Swears to his own hurt and does not change

*  Doesn’t put out his money at interest

*  Takes no bribe against the innocent

He who does these things will never be shaken.

[Psalm 15]

In the New Testament, Paul tells us:

The foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, that He might nullify the things that are, that no man should boast before God.

[I Corinthians 1:25-29]

So, on this day of rest, my brothers & sisters in the Lord, how do you measure up?

At your service in His service,
