The Shape of a Changed Life Today is Psalms Wednesday, and we’re spending time with Psalms 15 through 17. These passages give us a close look at what a changed life actually looks like. Not just words. Not just claims. A life that reflects trust in God, obedience to His ways, and a heart that wants His presence more than anything else. David’s short list in Psalm 15 is powerful because it challenges us to take inventory. Are our lives showing the reality of our faith? Or are we just saying the right things without the transformation? Psalm 16 reminds us that God Himself is our inheritance, our security, and our source of joy. The world offers a lot of noise and distractions, but this psalm pulls us back to the center. And Psalm 17 reveals a heart that seeks God’s protection with confidence. David knows that God sees everything, and he trusts that God will hear and respond. Later in the episode, we also talk a bit about something close to the heart of many listeners—Thanksgiving preparations. The lovely lady LeeAnn and I are deep into turkey brining, deviled egg assembling, and a whole lot of kitchen activity. And as always, we check in with the Lifespring Family Hotline and our On This Date in Church History segment, which today includes Spurgeon, the AME Church’s Christian Recorder, and the Gideons. Today’s Scripture Psalm 15 Psalm 16 Psalm 17 Read along at BibleGateway. Commentary Psalm 15 opens with two simple but profound questions: Who may enter the Lord’s presence? Who may dwell with Him? David answers by describing a person whose life reflects truth, integrity, and faithfulness. We’re reminded that obedience doesn’t earn us access to God under the New Covenant, but it reveals whether our faith is real. As I mentioned in the episode, 1 John 1 tells us plainly that if we say we belong to God but we walk in darkness, we’re lying to ourselves. A changed heart leads to a changed life, and Psalm 15 gives us a picture of that life. For more on this, here’s a helpful one-page article from GotQuestions: Who may dwell in Your holy hill?
