In the Lord’s Presence 

Psalms 15

“O Lord, who may lodge [as a guest] in Your tent? Who may dwell [continually] on Your holy hill? He who walks with integrity and strength of character, and works righteousness, And speaks and holds truth in his heart. He does not slander with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor takes up a reproach against his friend; In his eyes an evil person is despised, But he honors those who fear the Lord [and obediently worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder]. He keeps his word even to his own disadvantage and does not change it [for his own benefit]; He does not put out his money at interest [to a fellow Israelite], And does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.”

The blood of Jesus and His sacrifice for our sins, with our integrity and honesty is what will make us worthy to dwell in the presence of God on His holy hill. Today, seek to honor Him.

Prayer:

Lord, we see this list of qualities of those who may approach Your holy presence, and are humbled. Lord measure our thoughts, our words, our intentions, and our actions. We are worthy because of You. Wash us, cleans us, make us to be who You want us to be. In Your name, Lord Jesus, we cry out to You this morning, amen!
