Getting through Your Day

Psalm 15:1-5
Psalm 15:1-5
1 Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill?
2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart;
3 He who does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;
4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the Lord; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5 He who does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

David mentioned several of these things in Psalm 15. Take a look.
God involves Himself in the lives of those who walk uprightly.
2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart;
The word ''uprightly'' can be translated as ''whole'' or ''unblemished.'' What is David saying here? He is saying that God gets involved in the life of the person whose life is whole in His sight.
This person's life must not be broken up and going in several different directions at the same time. The Lord God must have all of us all the time.
