“I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.”
Psalm 101:1-4
It’s been said, “The men who move the world are the ones who do not let the world move them.” What we need are men, women, teens and young Christians who do not allow the world to dictate their choices and decisions. We don't have to be consumers of the sin and ungodliness that the world and the devil is peddling and continually trying to shove down our throats. We need more Christians who have a love for the Lord and a desire to follow His word no matter what the world, the flesh and the devil throws at them. We need Holy Ghost filled believers whose gratitude for their salvation is fueled by the fact that they were once one breathe and one heartbeat away from hell, but are now heaven born and heaven bound- O the life, power, strength and the joy and glorious peace that is ours in Christ Jesus. I believe that if we took the time to look back to where we once stood and then came full circle to where we stand in Christ Jesus that the many cold and indifferent hearts towards God would be replaced by hearts on fire for the Lord, and those hearts would burn like a three alarm blaze.
The 101st Psalm has been called a, “Royal code of ethics.” It proclaims the guiding principles that a ruler chooses to lead by. And that ruler is King David- a man after Gods own heart. I believe we also can apply the principles that have been given in these first four verses and they will bring glory to God and guidance to our lives. These principles will shape our behavior, they will govern our homes, they will dictate what we set before our eyes and they will deal with our hearts and give us guidance in our relationships. Let’s purpose to continue in our commitment to Christ and in doing so we will be a light in a dark world.
