I Will

Psalm 101

Psalm 101 “A Psalm of David. I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will make music. 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; 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. A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil. Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not endure. I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me. No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes. Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.”

This Psalm offers up many I will statements. through it we can commit to doing these same things. This Psalm was used as a coronation psalm and was written by David and Solomon was the first one that it was used on. This was a commitment of the king. In the same way we should make these commitments as we go through life. As we think about this I want to read the psalm again and think about what I will statement that you need to make today.
