I shall not be moved

Psalm 16

v8

I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

We should always set our Love on the Lord.

don't take up a reproach

Psalm 15

v3

[He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

There's a temptation to take up a reproach against certain people. We shouldn't be in the habit of going around saying bad things about people.

we need the gospel

1 Corinthians 9

v16

For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

We should realize that there's a necessity, that we have to preach the gospel.

understand and seek God

Psalm 14

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

We should spend time seeking the Lord by praying.

to whom tribute is due

Romans 13

v7

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

I should remember to get my taxes done.

having a hard time

Psalm 13

v5

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

When we're having a hard time, we should pray about it, like this Psalm.

"I have trusted"

Yesterday morning one of my friends talked about how we should trust the Lord through hard times.

"my heart shall rejoice"

Later yesterday, somebody encouraged me that a way to decide to rejoice even when we're sad, is to sing and praise the Lord. v6 says, "I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me."

"rejoice in thy salvation"

Praise the Lord, I got to see the Lord's salvation of somebody yesterday afternoon.

be righteous, not wicked

Psalm 11

v6

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion of their cup.

God gives serious judgment to people who are wicked. We should fear God and make sure we're righteous instead.
