Facets of integrity
Psalm 15:2–5
David's song, Psalm 15, opens with a probing question about our experience of fellowship with God in the temporal realm, our relationship with Him in daily life. He wanted to know what characteristics mark the person who is able to enjoy unencumbered, uninhibited association with the almighty Creator of the universe. Inspired by the Holy Spirit in his writing, David received and then recorded the Lord's reply.

Fellowship with God
Psalm 15:1
If you read Psalm 15 carefully, you will discover the entire song all hangs upon the first verse. Verse 1 is crucial in that it asks a probing question. That's today's devotional. David's answer forms the rest of the psalm. He then arrives at a wonderful promise. A Simple outline could be:
I. Question: “Who may abide in Your tent?” (v. 1)
II. Answer: “He who walks with integrity.” (vv. 2–5)
III. Promise: “He will never be shaken.” (v. 5)
King Charles signalling support for Canada as Trump talks annexation: royal watchers
A maple tree, a red dress and a ceremonial sword may seem like cold comfort for Canadians hoping to hear their head of state defend them against U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated pitches to annex their country.
