Psalm 15:4b

The following is a Bible study posted on our Bible Study Group.

Happy Thursday, everyone!

I have been feeling VERY pregnant this last week, and I've been having a hard time keeping up.  As I got to thinking about today's Bible study, I began to wonder if it might be okay if I asked all of you to contribute this week.  First, let's look at the verses in Psalm 15...

"LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle?
        Who may dwell in Your holy hill?

        He who walks uprightly,
           And works righteousness,
           And speaks the truth in his heart;
        He who does not backbite with his tongue,
           Nor does evil to his neighbor,
           Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;
        In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
           But he honors those who fear the LORD;
        He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
        He who does not put out his money at usury,
           Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. (NKJV)

Last week, we began looking at verse 4...

    In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
           But he honors those who fear the LORD;

Today, we need to finish verse 4...

    He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;

I think we all understand the importance of keeping our promises.  Would any of you be willing to write in to the group and tell about a time that you DID keep a promise, as well as the blessing it brought?  OR...  If you're brave, would you mind telling us a time that you did NOT keep your word, as well as the consequences?

Thanks to all of you in advance for anything you can contribute.
