Psalm 15

"Lord, who may enter your sactuary?" That is a question I know that I have asked repeatedly over the years. Too often I took David's words as requirements to enter into God's presence. But I have since learned that if those were the requiements then God's places of worship would be void of all people. I believe that there is only one requirement and David doesn't mention it. Yet his writing presumes that everyone who read, or sang, his psalm would acquire that: faith in the God of Israel. Without faith there would be little hunger for entering God's presence.  Without faith we would not know how to enter his glorious presence. Once we have received the faith that God gives then we allow him to create in us those traits that David mentions. When God has completed that work in us then we can know that we will "always be secure."
