Psa 15:1, … LORD, WHO MAY ABIDE IN YOUR TABERNACLE? WHO MAY DWELL IN YOUR HOLY HILL?
David longed for HIS presence, not just to visit BUT TO DWELL IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD! WHO MAY ABIDE IN YOUR PRESENCE???
Psa 15:2-3, 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;
He who does the will of GOD may dwell in HIS presence! Not just hearers of the word but doers of it! ALL WHO WALK IN HIS WAYS, DOES WHAT HE SAYS, AND SPEAKS THE TRUTH MAY DWELL IN HIS HOLY PRESENCE!
1Jn 1:6, If we say that we have fellowship with Him, AND WALK IN DARKNESS, WE LIE AND DO NOT PRACTICE THE TRUTH.
Externally one may be perceived to be a follower of CHRIST JESUS! But, if your gossiping, hurting your neighbors or speaking evil of your friends YOUR ONLY DECEIVING YOURSELF FOR HE SEES EVERYTHING CLEARLY! HE KNOWS THE REAL YOU AND ME!
Psa 15:4-5, 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. HE WHO DOES THESE THINGS SHALL NEVER BE MOVED.
HE WHO DOES THIS STANDS ON FIRM GROUND, FOR HE IS STANDING ON THE ROCK WHICH IS CHRIST JESUS!
Deu 32:3-4, For I proclaim the name of the LORD: Ascribe greatness to our God. HE IS THE ROCK, HIS WORK IS PERFECT; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.
ONE DAY WE SHALL LIVE IN HIS PRESENCE IF YOU ABIDE IN HIM AND EXCEPT HIS FREE GIFT! YOU CAN’T EARN IT, YOU DON’T MERIT IT, IT’S A FREE GIFT THAT COST HIM EVERYTHING! HE IS WORTHY AND HIS WAYS ARE PERFECT! SEEK HIM DAILY FOR HIS RETURN IS NEAR!
Joh 14:3, AND IF I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AM, THERE YOU MAY BE ALSO.
