Lord, what a relief. Although still plagued with flaws and imperfections, when the psalmist realized how You proclaimed him blameless after putting faith in You, Your grace led him to true spiritual freedom that adhering to religious rules never brought. His life changed. And what better place to begin his all-in-for-You godly life than in his own home, with those closest to him. He put down a stake: “I will lead a life of integrity in my own home, (Psalm 101:2).
Lord, we pray every Christ-follower understands how Your grace impacts our lives as well. Hopefully, those closest to us rejoice and give thanks to You for our transformation? Or maybe they raise an eyebrow when we state from this time forward, we will be different? Perhaps they’d heard similar claims before, like the many claims I’ve made. “You are gonna help me, aren’t You, Lord?” I cried.
“Of course, I’ll help. You cannot live this godly life by your human efforts.”
Let my changed life be obvious. I will live a Christ-centered life of integrity that honors You. No more wishy-washy faith —I want to be the real deal. No more publicly saying one thing and privately doing the opposite — no one likes a hypocrite. May I be genuine, Lord — less judgmental opinions, more grace and forgiveness. Absolutely no sanctimonious virtue-signaling, but may all believers develop a deeper relationship with You, Jesus, so we can share with those in our world this love You have given us.
THANKFUL
