Day 3 - A Godly Man
Scripture:
"Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity." Psalms 26:1
The entire twenty sixth chapter of Psalms gives us a strong and healthy example of a
good and godly man. Let me share with you a few things I have discovered about him.
He walks in his integrity. (v. 1)
He is comfortable with inviting the Lord to examine his heart. (v 2)
He is not afraid of having his motives tested by the Lord (v 2)
He is willing to have his mind and heart tried. (v 2)
He also keeps his mind occupied upon the Lord’s loving kindness (v 3)
He is faithful to walk in truth. He is a man of the Word. (v 3)
He is selective about whom he associates. (v 4)
He has nothing to do with idolaters, hypocrites, or evil and wicked doer. (v 4-5)
He keeps his hand out of mischief and quickly repents when he fails (v 6)
His lips are filled with verbal expressions of praise and thanksgiving (v 7)
He loves the house of God. He is habitually found in church. (v 8)
He prays for the mercy and fairness of God to be discharged on his behalf. (v 9-10)
He is spiritually sure footed. He is steadfast, faithful, stable and consistent. (v 12)
He is eager to testify of God’s goodness and faithfully blesses the Lord when in the house of God. (v 12)
