 'Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?'
(Psalm 15:1).

We have been granted the privilege to enter into the presence of the Lord and abide in Him, through faith. As a born again believer, our lives should reflect Christ, that we may be worthy to dwell in the house of the Lord. Whether through personal or corporate worship we must praise and glorify, the Father.  We must exhibit honest, sincere and godly integrity in every aspect of our lives. David was considered a man after God's own heart by God, not because he hadn't sin, but because he trusted the Lord. He knew too well what it was like to sin against God, and was therefore, able to acknowledge these attributes and give guidance that we should be truthful in our hearts and to walk uprightly and live godly. That include not backbiting nor do evil against our neighbours; nor to lend money with usury; or accept bribe against the innocent.  All these attributes David alluded to is a qualification towards dwelling in the holy hill of the Lord forever. Let us seek to serve God obediently, develop a good reputation as we live and speak truthfully, allowing the Holy Spirit to  transform us as we abide in Christ. We have all sin and come short of the glory of God!  It is only as we have a right relationship with the Lord, and by faith believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Saviour of our life; our Redeemer and Judge, that we can be worthy to live in the presence of God. As you reflect on the questions David asked in this passage, ask the Holy Spirit to work on your heart to transform you, that you'll be worthy to dwell in the presence of God forever.

Have a wonderful day

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
