I Very Rarely Do This

I very rarely post an entire chapter but Psalm 15 is short and informative.

Psalms 15:1-5(NKJV)

1    Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?      Who may dwell in Your holy hill?

In other words, Hey God, can I hang out with you?  What do I need to do to qualify to hang out with you?

2    He who walks uprightly,      And works righteousness,     And speaks the truth in his heart;

3    He who does not backbite with his tongue,      Nor does evil to his neighbor,     Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;

4    In whose eyes a vile person is despised,      But he honors those who fear the Lord;      He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;

5    He who does not put out his money at usury,      Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.      He who does these things shall never be moved.

Don't you love it when God lays things out and makes them simple?  Notice that I highlighted one of the answers in green?  I wanted to touch on that one for a minute. 

Want to know if someone is a Godly person, someone that God would want to hang out with?  Pay attention to how they treat believers.  They may seem spiritual and all but if they don't honor others who believe, beware. 

All of the things listed above are nice, good suggestions on how we should live our lives.  But there is one over riding requirement today that didn't exist when Psalms was written.  You have to believe in God's son Jesus Christ.

Only by accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior do you get to hang out with God for eternity.  Only by asking Jesus to take over and guide your life do you get to build that relationship with God that entitles you to eternal fellowship with Him.

Have you done that yet?  Why not do it right now?  Just have a conversation with Jesus.  Let Him know where you are at in life, what you are looking for.  Just have a conversation with Jesus.  "Dear Jesus…."
