SCRIPTURE
Ps. 101:8
Every morning I will put to silence
all the wicked in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer
from the city of the LORD.


OBSERVATION
David recommitted himself continually to put down wickedness from around him. Every day, he says, he will do this.


APPLICATION
This is the type of commitment we must have to walking in faithfulness to our God. Every morning, we re-establish our decision to pick up our Cross and follow. Every morning we once again decide to cooperate with His Holy Spirit and walk in His ways. Every day we again crucify the flesh and walk in the Spirit.

We do it every morning because we forget. We so easily get sidetracked and things creep into our lives. David wasn't perfect, but he was serious about following the Lord and so he constantly went back to his commitments and re-established them in his heart.

PRAYER
Lord, help me to be faithful today and remind me to return to my commitments to You tomorrow and the next day. Every day I want to give myself and my ways to You!
