Doing and Faith

Sometimes it seems so complicated to be a godly person. As humans we have a way of adding steps, rules, criteria, checkboxes to things in order to exert some sense of control over them... I think faith is no different-- we all want a sense that we're “doing it right.” And yet, faith IS different, isn't it.

But this Psalm makes it pretty simple... do the things in this list, and you'll never be “moved"-- some translations have it “shaken,” and the idea is that you'll be able to withstand whatever life hurls at you.

Do what's right, speak the truth from the heart, don't slander, don't do evil, don't speak badly of your neighbours, keep your promises-- do these things and you'll be rock-steady.
