Who Shall Abide in God’s Sanctuary?

A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, who may abide in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy hill?

2 Those who walk blamelessly and do what is right and speak the truth from their heart; 3 who do not slander with their tongue and do no evil to their friends nor heap shame upon their neighbors; 4 in whose eyes the wicked are despised but who honor those who fear the Lord; who stand by their oath even to their hurt; 5 who do not lend money at interest and do not take a bribe against the innocent.

Those who do these things shall never be moved. — Psalm 15 | New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition (NRSVUE) New Revised Standard Version, Updated Edition.

Therefore, since we have been justified [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have peace with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). Through Him we also have access by faith into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] stand. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]. ~ Romans 5:1-2

i forget if i’ve posted about this before. stop me

blameless postmortem culture has a lot to offer, but other people explain that plenty. here’s the catch: it only works if these two conditions are met:

1. everyone involved is doing their earnest best (or at least, meeting the effort expectations agreed in the team)

2. everyone involved is working toward the same set of goals

if either of these conditions is not met, you have a problem. if the root cause boils down to “jimmy didn’t want to deal with it so he didn’t”, unfortunately that’s a people problem. you may be able to engineer it a little bit, but you can never really prevent it.

if the root cause is “someone or some team was working toward a different goal from the rest of us”, that’s either a communication problem (benign) or a people problem (malicious). in the benign case you can engineer better communication models and depend on people Doing Their Best to prevent the problem. in the malicious case, you can attempt to limit the impact of a trusted adversary…but generally at great cost to productivity, which really means the adversary wins anyways.

now that i’m looking at it, this really condenses down to just one idea, since you could say that doing your best toward a counterproductive goal on purpose is simply not doing your best in context. but yeah. if your RCA reaches “so and so chose to do y instead of x” and the next “why” comes up with “because they don’t care about the success of the project”, you really can’t engineer that away.

Blame

Is it the clothes who expose

The blood that has long escaped

Is it the skin who should conceal

Yet never the less gaped

Is it the knife who drew the blood

Or the hand in witch it was held

Is it the possessor of the blade

Or is it the victim who rebelled

In this world of consequence

and lack of restrain

Who is truly innocent

and who is to blame

The Book of Job chapter 8

Bildad the Shuhite sticks his nose in

I think I might have blown my load with Eliphaz. One of the problems with the Book of Job is how repetitive it is. Job says something blasphemous and depressing. One of his friends says something toxic positivity. Job refutes that stupid friend.

Which makes finding quotes from Job out in the wild rather funny since these are quotes that the dumb friends are saying and as the text outright states, these friends are full of shit.

Only some of these friends are pretty repetitive in their shit. Like I'm going to need to start looking up scholars if I'm going to say anything new. Mostly classics professors. Maybe rabbis. I suppose Christians might have something to say that's worthwhile (doubtful but hey they do make pretty trees).

Bildad starts out with "How long will you say such things?" which struck me as funny, not only because already his friends are going "hey Job, maybe shut up so you stop bumming us out" but also because this is chapter 8 and there are many chapters to go.

Bildad's theme is like the rabbis who tried to find fault with Job. He keeps repeating that the blameless have nothing to fear. Sure Job's sons were probably sinful, but Job is fine. "Though your beginning be small, in the end you wil lgrow very great."

So Bildad is preaching the prosperity gospel. Look, believe in God and you'll get so much great shit eventually (oh hey there's my annoyance at the tacked on ending.)

But don't worry, Job, you'll be fine. Just look to the ancestors because our days on earth are a shadow yada yada but only those who don't trust in God will be uprooted. But Job, he's fine because the blameless (this gets repeated a lot) will not be despised.

So chin up Job. You're going through a bad time but if you're REALLY innocent, then you'll get everything you want.

So here's where I go into a personal story. When I was 12 or so my mom decided that it was time to get serious about this Christian bullshit and wanted me confirmed. She originally took me to a church that my aunt Sharon recommended (so why the fuck did she take that advice) and one time there was a guy who claimed to be a faith healer. Two things i remember.

First, he diagnosed a girl as having back problems because one leg was longer than the other one and held her leg. Second he asked for volunteers to go up and watch him "lengthen her leg" I went up with about a dozen others and we stood around and he moved her sock down her foot. The wisdom of letting some craggly old dude hold a teenage girl's leg as "faith healing" is just another fun factor in the world of evangelical Xianity.

But also a few people went "It's growing" and everyone else went along with them. Only her leg didn't grow and I seriously doubt that was an issue. But since we were all supposedly in agreement with the leg growing, we only told the truth to people who asked.

Second, the small group that I was in did more practice prayer healing. And I wanted him to heal my dry feet (my feet aren't dry these days. I don't live in Minnesota. I moisturize more) and I remember the guys prayer as he was holding my feet in his hands (yeah this was a fucked up church. It was called North Heights in Roseville, MN. If you are in Roseville, MN and are looking for a church, steer clear of North Heights) and he kept saying "Make sure there's NO DOUBT in your mind. Don't block the magical healing with any doubt!!!"

Look I was a dumb kid, not even a teenager yet and I knew that was a bullshit cover your ass statement. It was basically a way of making the "faith healing" subject still believe even when the faith healing didn't work.

So Bildad is giving us the equivalent when he keeps saying that G-d loves the BLAMELESS. If you're blameless then everything will work out. So when it doesn't work out, whoops! Guess Job was full of blame.

In the next chapter Job kind of agrees with that thesis but not really.

Every lingering struggle in his favour grew fainter and fainter; and in farther justification of Mr. Darcy, she could not but allow that Mr. Bingley, when questioned by Jane, had long ago asserted his blamelessness in the affair; that proud and repulsive as were his manners, she had never, in the whole of their acquaintance – an acquaintance which had latterly brought them much together, and given her a sort of intimacy with his ways – seen anything that betrayed him to be unprincipled or unjust – anything that spoke him of irreligious or immoral habits; that among his own connections he was esteemed and valued – that even Wickham had allowed him merit as a brother, and that she had often heard him speak so affectionately of his sister as to prove him capable of some amiable feeling; that had his actions been what Mr. Wickham represented them, so gross a violation of everything right could hardly have been concealed from the world; and that friendship between a person capable of it, and such an amiable man as Mr. Bingley, was incomprehensible.

God Loves the Godly

Psalm 37 ends in great comfort and incentive to keep on keeping on in Christ.. 37 Look at those who are honest and good,    for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace. The theme in scripture of the honest or good man being rewarded with a future that is filled with peace is something that brings us comfort as believers. In Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, he expresses these thoughts too.…

As for God, His way is blameless; the word of the Lord is refined; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.—Psalm 18:30 NASB

David faced many problems and adversaries. He tried many solutions. But through these experiences, he learned that God’s ways were not just acceptable; they were perfect. This meant learning to trust God and realizing He had a plan for his life. God was guiding him. As long as he looked to Him, God would provide a shield.

David also realized that His promises were true. Not just some of them, but all of them.

This is a life-changing truth. Many people have read and heard God’s Word without realizing that there is a deeper dimension. In this dimension, we are willing to put aside everything else and base our lives on His Word. We don’t just know His promises, but we believe and act on them.

How do we do this? First, we must know the Word. We must read and study the Word. Even more important than just knowing His promises, we also need to confess them. Declare the Word to be true. Think of His thoughts.

Today, commit to declare God’s promises for you. Pray for prosperity and health. He wants to give you His wisdom (James 1:5). He wants you to experience “the riches of his glorious inheritance” and His “incomparably great power” (Ephesians 1:18–19). He will supply all your needs (Philippians 4:19).

Stand on His Word. Stand on His promises.
