Psalm 15
Who can live with God? Who can keep up with
Him? That person must walk blamelessly, speak truth in his heart and out of his
mouth, honor the Lord at all times and in all ways, keep a promise even when it
doesn't turn out the way he'd hoped, give money without expecting a return, and
judge rightly regardless of relation to the parties. This kind of person can
live with God up high on His hill. Only that type of person can breathe that
kind of air and survive. Every other set of lungs will burst or shrink under
that kind of pressure. One can die there, but one cannot live there. This
standard is unbending and eternal. This is the measure of the man who gets to
live with God. And so those who accurately acknowledge this standard are left
with despair when they look inward and faith when they look upward saying,
"If I am to be saved, He must save me. I cannot save myself. Please God
make a way for me. If You don't, I can't. Help!!!"
