TEXT: Psalm
26:1-12
TOPIC: DAVID’S
DOS AND DON’TS
After affirming his trust
in the Lord, the psalmist boldly issued an invitation to God to test and try
him and examine his heart and mind.
It is amazing that he is
prepared to open himself up to such probe and scrutiny. Many of us cannot withstand
the scrutiny of an ordinary Vehicle Inspection Officer (VIO) not to talk of
God.
But where did the
psalmist get the boldness to invite the all-knowing God for such an
intimidating probe? The answer has been provided by the preceding verses. David
had dos and don’ts and with God’s help he stuck to them tenaciously.
* He doesn’t sit with
deceitful men
* He does not form
alliances with the hypocrites
* He hates the cliques of
evildoers and refused to attend their clandestine meetings
* He leads a blameless life
* He stands on a level
ground, etc.
The psalmist distances
himself from the evil-doers who midwifed corruption, conflict, and
controversies into the communities of the children of God. He knows that such
company is contagious.
QUESTION: In
what ways have you contributed in the mess that the church of Jesus Christ has
found itself?
PRAYER: Dear Lord, I lack the courage to invite You into my
heart for inspection because it is not clean. Please forgive me, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
