A Psalm of David
“Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord?
Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends.
Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the Lord, and keep their promises even when it hurts.
Those who lend money without charging interest, and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent.
Such people will stand firm forever.”
And there you have it; I can’t add much to these simple basic instructions.
No one is ever blameless because we walk on soiled ground but the Lord knows our hearts. He knows our thoughts behind the thought. He knows us better than we know ourselves!
So, when we slip and slide as we travel along, he understands. When an errant thought pops up and we quickly disregard it rather than ponder, he is proud. When we stop ourselves before joining in the gossip circle, he smiles. When we refuse to speak malice toward another, he beams.
The Lord supplies us with key instructions throughout the Bible for living a joyful life filled with his peace but we have to be willing to follow his lead!
Free to worship in his sanctuary! Free to worship in his presence! Standing firm forever! Hallelujah! 🥰
Have a most blessed day! 🥰
