O Lord, who may abide in Thy tent? Who may dwell on Thy holy hill? He who walks with integrity, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart. He does not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend; In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; He swears to his own hurt, and does not change; He does not put out his money at interest, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken. Psalm 15:1-5 NASB I remember as a kid, all of us wanting to hang out with the person who was the most popular in the school. One thing you learned quickly: if you wanted to hang out with the big-dog, there were certain hoops you needed to jump through. There were certain rules for behavior that would place you in the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God is omnipresent, is He not? granted, that's a word we don't hear much anymore along with omniscient and omnipotent. so God holds all power, knows all things and is always there. all of your time is with God.

tah Posted September 30, 2007 Group: Royal Member Followers: 1 Topic Count: 105 Topics Per Day: 0.02 Content Count: 3,131 Content Per Day: 0.45 Reputation: 126 Days Won: 1 Joined: 05/12/2005 Status: Offline Share Posted September 30, 2007 Bumped. This is a wonderful study. David hung out with God, but even in the Psalms, we can see he had his faults. I believe God allowed this(his Biblical testimony) for the purpose to show His children that we don't have to be perfect(in fact, we can't) to have a good relationship with God. My first thought when I read this were on how Abraham was "the friend of God"... It is comforting to know His friends were not always perfect in all their actions but they did strive to please Him... Praise God for His forgiveness when we do sin. I'm curious...I think people have varying opinions on what 'hanging out with God' means...so everyone, what activities do you consider to be spending time with God? I am of the mind that while I am yet breathing I am hanging out with God.. Good times... bad times... all times... He fills all, Yes! Like parents "hang out" with their children....

"In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." is how I describe "hanging out with God". To truly love God is to seek Him in everything we do. Once you "taste and see that the Lord is good" you can do nothing else but seek Him in everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know what the original poster meant. To 'Hang out with God' to me means being a friend of God. There is a time Jesus wants us just to sup and be with Him. Anyone can hang out with God who knows Him or want to know Him. God loves when we minister to him. There is a time to be in reverence, a time to be jovial and have a good time with Him...and in Him.
