诗篇第15篇|Book of Psalm 15

【更美的家乡】

主讲：郑伟健同工

引言：你的梦想房子是？你可否想过你会和谁一起住呢？

一、与神同住的地方 (V1)

诗人大卫以问答的方式问神要如何进入祂所居住的地方，因为他晓得不是每一个人可以进入神的帐幕、神的圣山。帐幕和圣山都代表与神同在的地方。

当时大卫还没有建立圣殿，而是在大卫城搭建了一个帐幕用来安放约柜，大卫城所在的锡安山也被称为圣山。

二、谁能与神同住？(v2-5a)

诗篇里提到共有十件事，就如十诫一样。这十个事情是指我们来敬拜神和事奉神时必须留意的十件事情，谁可以进入圣殿里？谁可以住在圣山？要进入去敬拜神先要有预备。

这十件事，无论对自己和对人都反映出我们最近提到要有整合的生命。对自己对人，里到外都活出生命树的气息。

1.从里到外都正直 (V2)

（1）行为正直、（2）做事要公平公义公正、（3）心理说的都是真理真实的话。这三样事情都是对我们个人生命的检视，内里是否有真理。

2.诚实待人不虚假 (V3)

对外也反映内心的生命，即是（4）不以舌头毁谤人，就是不到处说别人坏话、（5）不恶待朋友、（6）也不随伙毁谤邻里，不听毁谤的话，也不合伙说人的坏话。

3.扎根真理不走偏 (V4)

匪类的人，不要高攀他，因为他必有恶果。（7）但是却要尊重敬畏神的人，尽管他没有势力才能，甚至是很低，被欺负的，我们也要看他们是神的仆人，是有份量的人。

（8）即是吃亏也不要更改，大卫看中敬畏神的人，这个原则他从来不改变。他甚至愿意起誓，不会因利而放弃这原则，纵然自己吃亏仍持守这原则。他与敬畏神的人同伙，而不与匪类同行。或许因此匪类会对你不利，使你吃亏，但我们要有决心行敬畏神的道路。

4.行事公义不贪婪 (V5a)

(9) 不放债取利，不要用钱来赚弟兄的钱。谈到钱就会伤感情，更何况若注入了取利的心态就形成了贪婪。（10）不受贿赂，即我们要有原则、不犯法、不收黑钱，大家也知道这是不对的。

总结：竭力“行这些事”，预备与神同住（V5b）

行以上十样的事情，让我们永不动摇。这帮助我们可以省察自己，有没有从里到外活出生命树的气息。让我们活出神喜悦的生命，预备与神同住在更美的家乡。

Psalm 15 A better home
GK611 Morning Devotion

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Co-worker Asher Chang
Introduction: What is your dream house? Have you ever wondered who you would live with?

1.. A Place to Live with God (V1)

The psalmist David asked God in a question-and-answer format how he was going to get into the place where He dwells, because he knew that not everyone could get into the tabernacle of God, the holy hill of God. Both the tabernacle and the holy hill represent the place of being with God.

At that time David had not built a temple, but a tabernacle in the City of David to house the Ark of the Covenant, and Mount Zion, where the City of David was located, was also called the Holy Hill.

2. Who can live with God? (v2-5a)

There are a total of ten things mentioned in the Psalms, just like the Ten Commandments. These ten things are the ten things that we must be aware of when we come to worship and serve God. Who can enter the temple? Who can live on the holy hill? To enter to worship God we must first be prepared.

These ten things, both for ourselves and for others, reflect our recent reference to the need for an integrated life. Live as the Tree of Life, inside and out, for yourself and for others.

1. Righteousness from the inside out (V2)

(1) Behave righteously, (2) Be fair and just and impartial in your actions, and (3) Mentally speak the truth and truthful words. These three things are the examination of our personal life to see if there is truth in us.

2. Be honest and not false (V3)

The outward life also reflects the inward life, that is, (4) not to slander with one’s tongue, that is, not to go around speaking evil of others, (5) not to treat one’s friends wickedly, and (6) not to join in slandering one’s neighbour, nor to listen to slander, nor to join in speaking evil of others.

3. Be rooted in the truth and do not go astray (V4)

Do not exalt a man who is a gangster, for he will have evil consequences. (7) But honour the man who fears God, even though he has no power or talent, or even if he is very low, and is bullied, let us regard them as servants of God, men of weight.

4. Act Righteously and Not Greedily (V5a)

(9) Do not lend money for profit, do not use money to make money for your brother. Talking about money hurts feelings, not to mention that if it is infused with the mindset of taking profit it forms greed. (10) Not to take bribes, i.e., we must be principled, not break the law, and not take dirty money, which we all know is wrong.

Conclusion:

Strive to "he who does these things" to prepare to dwell with God (V5b) Doing these ten things keeps us from wavering. This helps us to examine ourselves to see if we are living as the tree of life from the inside out. Let us live a life that pleases God and prepare to live with Him in a more beautiful home.
