The "I Wills" of David

The "I Wills" of David - Psal 101:1-7

Over the past several days I have been going over Psalm 101, or what I like to call the "I Wills" of David. These are confessions that King David made. I could be presumptuos in saying that King David spoke these every day when he woke in the morning, but I would probably not be too far off from it. These are GREAT confessions that we can speak daily, out loud, when we wake in the mornings. They confess how we are going to live our lives. Now you may not feel like your living what you are confessing, but as you continue to speak these each day, you will find that your belief system is slowly being renewed to what God had intended in the first place. There are many studies that say if you do something for a minimum of 21 days, it becomes a habit. Well, I don't know about that, but I do know that if you consistently do something day after day after day, it will become a habit. The key word is CONSISTENT. If you are wanting to change your life, your thoughts, your words that come out of your mouth, they way you view things to become more of what God had intended, then this is a good place to start. I challenge each of you to print these verses out (see below) and read these "I Wills" of David each day when you wake up for 30 days. If you do, you will beging to see changes in your thinking. 

I will sing of your love and justice, LORD. 

I will praise you with songs. 

I will be careful to live a blameless life— when will you come to help me? 

I will lead a life of integrity in my own home. 

I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them. 

I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil. 

I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. 

I will not endure conceit and pride. 

I will search for faithful people to be my companions. Only those who are above reproach will be allowed to serve me. 

I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, and liars will not stay in my presence.”

Psalms 101:1-7 NLT
