Walk Blamelessly, Do Right, Speak Truth


Thursday, July 9, 2015
Psalm 15:1-5 NIV

1 A psalm of David. LORD, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain? 2 The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; 3 whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others; 4 who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the LORD; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind; 5 who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be shaken.

OBSERVATION QUESTIONS
1) What two questions does David ask the Lord? (v.1)
2) What twelve (12) responses does the psalmist write concerning his question? (v.2-5b)
3) Who will never be shaken? (v.5c)

APPLICATION QUESTIONS
4) Are you able to continually abide in the presence of the Lord? If not, ask the Lord what hinders you from doing so.

LIFE LESSONS
5) God is holy and His desire is to abide in those who are holy.
6) To be holy is to be "set apart" from the people of this world.
7) The Lord makes His presence known and felt, through His Holy Spirit, as we consecrate (dedicate or commit) our lives wholly to God's will and to His way.
