My Tube

SCRIPTURE Psalms 101
1 I will sing of your love and justice;to you, O LORD, I will sing praise. 2 I will be careful to lead a blameless life—when will you come to me? I will walk in my house with blameless heart.
3 I will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men I hate; they will not cling to me.


OBSERVATION
Every day we watch shows on TV, the Internet and various movies on our DVD players. There is so much media out there that sometimes it is hard to not be careful and just watch whatever. We can watch just about anything on a youtube video. Some of the junk that people post on line is not funny but crazy. I can not believe that people would post so much junk and vile stuff. Psalms 101 talks about being careful about what stuff we allow ourselves to watch. The eyes are a window into our heart and the psalmist explains how it can effect our spiritual walk with the Lord. What we put in our minds will cause us to act a certain way. (Garbage in Garbage out) I want to live a blameless life and I want God's presence (Holy Spirit) to come to me. If we allow junk to cloud or thinking and enter our spirit we can not expect for God to come and dwell with us. It will be like inviting the President of the United states to come hang out in your messy room that is filled with junk & trash and think that he will fill comfortable.


APPLICATION
I want to be careful of what I am putting in my mind. The scripture talks about not being entertained by faithless men. I need put a check on what I allow to come into my home. I can make a choice to watch quality material instead of trash that is being played on various channels. I want the Holy Spirit to feel comfortable watching a show with me. I believe he would feel more comfotable watching somthing on Animal Planet or the Travel channel instead of sitting in front of a violent movie which takes the Lords name in vain every 5 minutes. I want to be sensitive to the Spirit and ask for his advice and let him be the critic.

PRAYER
Lord teach me to be careful and live a blameless life. Please come to me as you did the psalmist. I pray that your presence will fill our home and our lives. Forgive me for watching things that were questionable. I pray that you will protect our family from watching vile things. I want to Love God and Hate Sin. Help me to draw a line in the sand and keep on the blameless side.
We pray that you will put a new song on our hearts and teach us to walk in the Spirit.
