Psalm 101:1 I will sing of Your love and justice; to You, LORD, I will sing praise.
Commentary on today’s verse put me in mind of a novel I recently read, which dealt with psychology, uncertainty, and tragedy and whether we are who we think we are, who we want to be, in our darkest moments.
Psalm 101:2a I will be careful to lead a blameless life….
The whole thing—psalm, commentary, novel—brought to mind the idea that God knows our hearts intimately. He knows who we are, who we can be, who He designed us to be. He knows how to take our failings and use them for our good and His glory, beauty from ashes.
Psalm 101:2b …I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for knowing my heart, what I’m capable of, what You designed me for. Help me to strive to become the person You designed me to be. When I stumble and fall, which is inevitable, help me to dust myself off and keep striving for You. Draw me closer. Amen.
Psalm 101:7 No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.
Have a blessed day.
