WHO?

Psalm 14 (15)

O Lord, who shall dwell in Your tabernacle?
Who shall live in Your holy mountain?
He who walks blamelessly, and works righteousness,
And speaks truth in his heart,
Who does not deceive with his tongue,
Neither does evil to his neighbor;
And does not find fault with those nearest him.
He disdains those who do evil in his presence,
But he holds in honor those who fear the Lord;
He swears an oath to his neighbor and does not set it aside.
He does not lend his money at interest,
And he does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be shaken.

Personal Challenge

Oh, how many times have I heard well-intended people proclaim that they wished they knew what God's will was in their lines. It really is not all that difficult. The Psalmist sums it up very succinctly in this Psalm. The result of living a godly life as laid out here is to be able to dwell with God. This is God's will for us, that we will live our lives His way. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
