Psalm 15: God Welcomes Us to Dwell with Him












    O LORD, who shall sojourn in your tent?
        Who shall dwell on your holy hill?
(Psalm 15:1 ESV)

In this Psalm David is reflecting on who is able to dwell with God. He gives a whole list of qualities that a person who can dwell with God should have.

But what strikes me more when I reflect on it, is not what type of person it takes to dwell with God; but just the mere fact that we can. It is beyond comprehension to me that we even can dwell with God. But it's more than that we "can" dwell with God, but that He actually welcomes us and desires us to dwell with Him. We were created to dwell with Him, the end for which we were made was to be with Him, and to be in relationship with Him.

"Who shall dwell on your holy hill?" God's desire is that all would. And He graciously welcomes us to.
