Psalm 101:2 I will
give heed to the blameless
way. When will You
come to me? I will walk
within my house in the
integrity of my heart.
(NAS95)
As I was reading
Psalm 101 it occurred
to me that there are
several significant
practices listed here
that will welcome the
presence of God into
our homes.
I chose to start with
verse two because the
question posed here is
the reason for the rest
of the commitments
the Psalmist makes.
“When will You come
to me?”
The Psalmist is
hungry for the presence
of God in his
life.
He isn’t satisfied with
mere religious activity
but truly desires an
experience of the presence
of God.
On that basis, he
makes several commitments.
Each one of those
commitments is recognized
by the words,
“I will”.
The beginning of
any relationship, with
people or with God,
is founded on a willingness
to pursue that
relationship.
The blessing of
God’s presence is reserved
for those who
are hungry enough to
pursue it.
“You will seek Me
and find Me when you
search for Me with all
your heart.” Jeremiah
29:13 (NAS95)
