Send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling!
Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy,
Psalm 43:3-4a
Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?
Who may dwell in Your holy hill?
He who walks uprightly,
And works righteousness,
And speaks the truth in his heart;
Psalm 15:1-2
Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully.
Psalm 24:3-4
A month ago I wrote on those last verses above. We seem to still be on the same theme. I read Psalm 43 this morning. It talks about going to that Holy Hill. But, they are asking to be led there. They are not there yet. If you aren’t dwelling in the secret place of His presence, then you can ask to be led there. He wants to bring you to Himself.
The prayer is that God would send His light and truth to lead them. Jesus, of course, is the light and the truth. So is God’s word. We walk in the light of Christ, asking Him to shine His light to expose any harmful way in us, and we read the Bible and search our lives in light of the Scriptures. We ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to us truth in the Scriptures, to make it alive to us where we need the sword to cut away the flesh.
The outcome is being, dwelling, never moving from God’s presence. That’s where exceeding joy is found, in His presence.
