WHO MAY WORSHIP

Today's reading: Psalm 15-17

"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 slander others or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends.

Those who despise persistent sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the Lord and keep their promises even when it hurts.

Those who do not charge interest on the money they lend, and who refuse to accept bribes to testify against the innocent. Such people will stand firm forever." Psalm 15

Well, according to David, none of us would be allowed into God's presence.

None of us lead blameless lives.

None of us are enough on our own.

Or always speak truth from sincere hearts.

Or never speak ill of others.

None of us are intolerant to sin, especially our own.

There are few, if any, absolute promise keepers among us.

And most of us are easily swayed by something, whether it be money or pride or being accepted.

But we have Jesus!

For those of us who have accepted His gift of salvation, He makes it possible for us to approach God!

Jesus's blood has made us right.

His 'enoughness' makes us good enough to come to God with any and all requests and praises.
