Lamentations 1-2, Philemon 1, Psalms 101, Proverbs 26:20
What God said to me – The world is replete with stories of famous people who were known publicly for generosity and kindness and being good people, but then a tell-all book comes out about how at home they were cruel or abusive or addicts or all sorts of ungodly things. It’s shocking and disappointing. People “tsk tsk” and say, “you never know what know what goes on behind closed doors”. So, what about you? Are you different publicly than you are privately? Do you put on your “church” face when you go out and act totally different at home? The Psalmist said, “I will give heed to the blameless way”. He was committed to walking after Me, not just publicly, but also privately. He also said, “I will walk in my house in the integrity of my heart. I will set no worthless thing before my eyes”. Walking in a manner worthy of your calling doesn’t just mean publicly where you can be seen and judged by others – it also means in your home, with your family, what you watch on TV, what you browse on your computer, what you read, what you think about. There are no “hands off”, private areas in the lives of My children – they all belong to Me. “I AM” righteous. “I AM” holy. I have called you to live righteous and holy lives everywhere, at all times.
