Are You Going to be Living on the Holy Hill?

LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?

He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
(Psalm 15)

Pretty high standards when you read them. But when you really think about it, don't we already do this inregard to our family and our closest friends. We never give it a second thought. When it comes to these relationships we are always willing to do and say what is right and honorable, no matter how tough or difficult the situation, because these are the people we love and care about. So then ... why is it so different when it comes to the Lord. I mean really ... read Pslam 15 again and tell me ... Is this really a bad way to live? Are people going to hate you for living a life like this? Are we going to hurt anyone by living this live? ... I know I would sure like to be surrounded by people who live like this ... perhaps starting today ... right this minute ... if you are not already trying to live like this for the Lord ... you can start ... WE CAN START!!!
