Psalm 101

Psalm 101 
NIV

 There are two parts to the faithful life:  there is how we look to God, and then how we act in response.  It's important that we tend to both.
  To start, we worship God.  All of life is a response to God.  We look at what God has done and say thank you, and we anticipate what God will do and live out our thank you.
  Our life of faith is our response to God's reaching out to us.  If we were to thank God and then live as though none of it mattered, what kind of response to God would that be?  If Rachel baked me a cookie and I said thank you and threw it directly in the trash, what would you say about me?
  So we live out our faith.  We avoid evil.  We live with integrity.  We are not perfect, but are zealous for serving and pleasing God, and in so doing we bring him glory.

May we look for ways to serve God today
