From: Wisdom from the Psalms : Daily Thoughts and Meditations

Psalm 132:9
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
"If a person was going to be a representative of the church, he needed to live a lean and
upright life. Leaders need to lead by example, therefore church leaders ministered to others by
the way they lived their lives. If a person wasn't ready to steer clear of questionable activities,
then maybe he wasn't ready to step into a key role in the church. All Christians assume the
responsibility of being an example to nonbelievers. It is an awesome task, but one we must
assume. Christ calls us to a life of perfection. Each day we should strive harder to be more
perfect than we were the day before. With God's help, we can clothe ourselves in
righteousness, thus sending the message that to be Christian means to be different from the
rest of the world. In Christ we are made new. Our newness is a light for all the world to see."
Prayer:
Clothe me in Your righteousness, Lord, and make me an example of a new life in Christ. Let me
serve You through my actions. Move me onward toward perfection. Amen.
