Monday Mission - Keep His Statutes

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
— 1 Corinthians 10:31

Worn Bible open on counter.

Psalm 119:1-8 says:

"Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in His ways! You have commanded Your precepts to be kept diligently. Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping Your statutes! Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all Your commandments. I will praise You with an upright heart, when I learn Your righteous rules. I will keep Your statutes: do not utterly forsake me!"

I love how the beginning of the longest Psalm begins. It highlights the importance of a few things:

  • The importance of knowing God's precepts.
  • The importance of following God's precepts.
  • The importance of praise as a response to God for helping us to walk in His ways.
  • The importance of understanding God's character, specifically what He has done and what He can do.

May we walk in His way today, following His precepts. And if we are able to do that, may we praise Him with an upright heart.
