He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart....
Psalm 15:2 NIV
“Daddy, he did it!”
“Did not!”
“Did too!
“Did not!”
The blame game! If you have children, it is probably a common occurrence in your house! The blame game happens often in our lives, as well. Someone is always at fault. “Someone caused it, and it wasn't me!” We are quick to judge and seldom care to be judged. It is far easier to pass blame than to accept it.
The world is full, it seems, of those who “didn't do it.” No one really wants to take responsibility.
The one who wants to dwell with Jesus will be the one whose walk strives to be TRULY blameless! He or she will be the one who, in spite of all the temptations of life, most often chooses the right and excellent way. The one who lives on the Holy Hill in the presence of our Savior is the one who speaks a word and people listen. Not because the word is always the greatest idea, but because it is consistently truthful.
Does that describe you? Do people trust your words, because over and over again, you have proven to be truthful? Do you have a reputation of one who is “above” the fussing and fighting that so often accompanies relationships in the world today? Do people hold you to a higher standard?
Would friends, those who know you best, be surprised to hear you gossip or tell a dirty joke? Are you above the immature actions of making a politically incorrect remark? Do others expect more dignity to come from you?
Are you walking blameless before your Lord today? He is watching! He wants those who can love Him in this selfless way to join Him on His Holy Hill! It is an open invitation to the invited few.
Are you on the guest list yet?
