TOPIC: QUALITIES OF CHARACTER THAT GOD LOOKS FOR IN A MAN – Part 2

 

MEMORIZE: “Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

 

SCRIPTURE READING: “Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.” Psalms 24:3-4

 

EXPOSITION:

In continuation of our studies on the qualities of character that God looks for in a man that will stand in his presence.

(3.) They are such as do not set their affections upon the things of this world, do not lift up their souls unto vanity, whose hearts are not carried out inordinately towards the wealth of this world, the praise of men, or the delights of sense, who do not choose these things for their portion, nor reach forth after them, because they believe them to be vanity, uncertain and unsatisfying.

 

(4.) They are such as deal honestly both with God and man. In their covenant with God, and their contracts with men, they have not sworn deceitfully, nor broken their promises, violated their engagements, nor taken any false oath. Those that have no regard to the obligations of truth or the honour of God's name are unfit for a place in God's holy hill.

 

(5.) They are a praying people (Ps 24:6): This is the generation of those that seek him. In every age there is a remnant of such as these, men of this character, who are accounted to the Lord for a generation, Ps 22:30. And they are such as seek God, that seek thy face, O Jacob!

 

PRAYER POINT: Lord, help my prayer life to be alive and strong in Jesus name.
