Some times I believe that people have this question without actually asking this question out loud. When I was reading the other day this passage just JUMPED OUT AT ME.

“Yahweh, who dares to dwell with you? Who presumes the privilege of being close to you, living next to you in your shining place of glory?” Psalm 15:1 (TPT)

The answer is simple, yet so “dismissed” in the church of today… I know God’s heart must be so disappointed some times that its so simple to be close to Him, yet we allow the craziest things to keep us a part from dwelling in Him. Oh God that my heart can do so much better… to please you & honor you. These trivial things are so important to you, let them become serious to me so I can DWELL right next to you ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE!

• Let me live passionately & wholeheartedly always speaking TRUTH because my heart is trustworthy.
• Let me never slander, insult, or gossip about another.
• Help me to despise evil & lift up the faithful ones you’ve entrusted around me.
• Let my life be one of integrity by being firm in my commitments, no matter the cost. Let my yes be yes and my no be no.
• Help me to never crush others for my benefit or be bought to hurt innocent people.

I want to live a life that is never SHAKEN in my walk with God. So that I can STAND FIRM no matter what comes my way! I will NOT BE MOVED!

PSALMS 15 (Living in the Shining Place A poetic song by David)

“A Question Posed

Yahweh, who dares to dwell with you? Who presumes the privilege of being close to you, living next to you in your shining place of glory?

The Answer Provided

They are passionate and wholehearted, always sincere and always speaking the truth— for their hearts are trustworthy. They refuse to slander or insult others; they’ll never listen to gossip or rumors, nor would they ever harm a friend with their words. They will despise evil and evil workers while commending the faithful ones who follow after the truth. They make firm commitments and follow through, even at great cost. They never crush others with exploitation and they would never be bought with a bribe against the innocent. Those who do these things will never be shaken; they will stand firm forever.”
