I will sing of mercy and judgement. (Psalm 101:1)
Taken from Ultimate Success God’s Way Devotional by New Life Network
Notice the 5 ” I Wills” of David in Psalm 101:(1) “I will sing of mercy and judgement.” (v. 1). When dealing with others, some of us are all mercy and no justice; others are all justice and no mercy. God requires both.
(2) ” I will behave myself wisely” (v2). People are more impacted by your behavior than by your beliefs. Your children may not always follow your advice, but count on it, they’ll follow your footsteps. Those not persuaded by your theology, can still be won by your love and lifestyle.
(3) ” I will walk within my house with a perfect heart” (v.2). Charity begins at home. If your family thinks you’re joyless and judgmental, you’ll never attract them to Christ. David prayed, “How I need your help, especially in my own home, where I long to act as I should” (Ps 101:2 TLB).
(4) “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes” (v.3). Get real. television is on 7 hours a day in most homes. So ask yourself: “What am I exposing myself and my family to?” What you tolerate, you’ve no right to complain about! You say you have no time to read God’s Word and pray No, the truth is, you don’t have a strong enough desire to.
(5) ” I will early destroy all the wicked” (v.8) . The Living Bible States, ” I will not tolerate anyone who secretly slanders his neighbors;
I will not permit conceit and pride. I will make the godly of the land my heroes, and invite them to my home.” (Ps 101: 5-6 TLB). Those are 5 “I wills” we should live by.
