Sunday Psalms;

Psalms 15 CEB

Who can live in your tent, LORD? 

Who can dwell on your holy mountain? 

The person who lives free of blame, 

does what is right, 

and speaks the truth sincerely;

who does no damage with their talk, 

does no harm to a friend, 

doesn't insult a neighbor;

someone who despises those who act wickedly, but who honors those who honor the LORD; someone who keeps their promise even when it hurts;

someone who doesn't lend money with interest, who won't accept a bribe against any innocent person. Whoever does these things will never stumble.

Psalms 15 CEB

David's song seems to be him trying to figure out what it takes to be right with God.

And he gives us a great list.

There's lots of goodness in his list, and if I read it quickly enough there's days when I might even meet this "standard".

But the reality is I can't even consistently manage the first thing on the list...which is one reason why we need Jesus.

And His Grace.

And His Way.

Why we need Easter. 

Then we get to sit with this song knowing we're already right with God, we are invited to live out this song because it's right, and it's a direction we want to head in, knowing our destination is already secure. 

We get to live out Psalm 15 from a place of freedom...
