In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our lives through the lens of Psalm 15, which asks, 'Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle?' The answer paints a portrait of a life marked by vulnerability and justice - one that rejects the world's philosophy of self-preservation and power, which Jesus calls 'mammon.' We're reminded that true dwelling with God requires us to lead uncorrupted lives, speak truth, avoid deceit, and care for our neighbors even at personal cost. The message draws fascinating parallels between this biblical ideal and the life of Moses, who had to unlearn the ways of Pharaoh's fortress and embrace the vulnerability of the wilderness before he could truly encounter God. As we reflect on this, we're invited to see our own limitations and fragilities not as weaknesses, but as invitations to trust in God more deeply. This counter-cultural perspective encourages us to reject the Machiavellian tendencies we've absorbed from society and instead embrace a life of open-handed justice, keeping our word even when it costs us, and marveling not at the powerful, but at those who fear the Lord.
