Is This Aim too High for You?

Text:

Psalm 101:1-4 (ESV) 

1 I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will make music. 

2  I will ponder the way that is blameless. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house; 

3  I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me. 

4  A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil. 

Observation:

If a man like King David can aim to be blameless, can we who are Christ followers do any less?

I invite you, along with myself, to ponder the aim of being blameless in the eyes of our Father in heaven.

A good place to start in being faithful to the Lord is to sing praises to the Lord. This is what David did, and it's a good example to follow.

Psalm 101:1 (ESV) 

1 I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will make music. 

If you want to be blameless begin with praise, and continue to be faithful to the Lord. Being blameless is a worthy goal, and one that pleases the Lord.

Psalm 119:1 (ESV) 

1 Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the LORD! 

Prayer:

Father, I pray that when You look into the face of Your people that You will find us blameless in Your eyes. Father, I thank You that You have given us the Holy Spirit to do the heavy lifting. In the mighty name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
