PSALM 15

PSALM 15

PSALM 15

David loved God’s house and longed to dwell there and fellowship with God (Ps. 27:4–5). He yearned to be like the priests who lived in the tabernacle and had constant access to holy things. David wished he could even be a guest and pay God a visit, but did he qualify? Does anybody qualify?

God’s children have open access into His presence through the work of Jesus Christ (Heb. 10:19–25). He is our High Priest and Advocate in heaven, and He welcomes us. We come on the basis of His righteousness, not our own. But we had better be sure we have experienced the cleansing of Hebrews 10:22 before we rush into His presence.

This psalm helps us examine our walk, our works, and our words (v. 2). The inventory includes our relationship with others (vv. 3–4), how we keep our promises, and how we use our money (v. 5). Meditating on this psalm and pondering these “qualifications” could help us deepen our relationship with God.
