"Lord, Who May Abide In Your Tabernacle?"

Psalm 15 gives a vivid picture of the person whose conduct grows out of fellowship with the living God. The question, “Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?” (Psalm 15:1) is answered with examples from everyday living (also see article).

“He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart” (Psalm 15:2).

The Psalmist goes on to describe honest relationships with neighbors and friends (Psalm 15:3-4), along with integrity in business and financial matters (Psalm 15:5).

The Psalmist ends with these words:

“He who does these things shall never be moved” (Psalm 15:5; cf. 2 Peter 1:5-10).

Beloved, ethical living is more than just a concept. It is a powerful means of demonstrating the presence of the living Christ in our daily lives (Galations 2:20).

Doing what is right, is always right.

Even if we were billionaires, there would be no richer legacy that we could leave our children as rich as moral integrity.
