Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall abide in thy holy hill?
Two very appropriate questions one should ask of themselves every new day. Both of these questions can be condensed into one very direct one. Who can dwell with the Lord? The answer is provided in the second verse.
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. The Spirit of the Lord cannot dwell in the presence of sin. The one who walks upright has a strict regard for what is morally right. One who works righteousness is one who does what is moral, good, and right. To speak truth, truth must be in your heart. The one who dwells with the Lord is the one who loves the Lord with all their heart, all their soul, and all their strength.
The remainder of Psalm 15 presents us with a detailed list of who may dwell with God. But I personally love the last nine words of this Psalm.
He that doeth these things shall never be moved. That is a direct promise for walking uprightly, working all righteousness, and speaking the truth from our hearts. God bless...
