Study 9A HOW TO BE WELL-BEHAVED
(Scripture Portion: Psalm 101)
It has been said that there are two kinds of psalms: psalms of Praise and psalms of Practice. An example of the former is Psalm 100 –- full of praise and thanksgiving; and an example of the latter is Psalm 101. Psalm 101 is full of resolutions made by David at a time when he was about to become king of Israel. They all have to do with daily life and conduct, and that is why the psalm is so practical. Eight times David says, “I will” . The key-verse is verse 2: “I will be careful to lead a blameless life.” That is: “My behaviour shall be such as will be pleasing to God and commendable in the sight of men.”
Are you a Christian? Are you a well-behaved Christian?
1 . The well-behaved Christian has a spirit of praise .
A life that is filled with praise to God –- verse 1. The important thing to notice is that the psalmist sings just as much of “love” as he does of “justice”. Naturally speaking, it is far easier to sing of love than of justice. It is much easier to sing when the sun is shining and all is going well; yet
the grace of God enables His children to have “songs in the night” (Psalm 77:6) –- even if they are in prison with their backs bleeding (Acts 16:25)! God gives His people the ability to glorify Him in the fires (Isaiah 24:15) –- indeed, at all times (look up Psalm 34:1). When life is pleasing we say, “Isn’t God good?” When trouble comes, we tend to forget to say it; but Romans 8:28 demands that we should say it even then. Look up Philippians 4:6-7.
2 . The well-behaved Christian lives consistently in the home .
Perhaps David had found, as we have, that the hardest place to live a sweet and consistent Christian life is in the home –- verse 2. Home is the place where we are apt to throw off restraint. Look up and cross reference this with Titus 2:5. If we are careless and undisciplined in our living at home or where we work, the Word of God is “maligned” or exposed to reproach. There is a very searching question asked in 2 Kings 20:15.
My question is "Are you a Christian? Are you a well-behaved Christian?"
See you in the concluding part...think on this question and prayerfully approach the throne of grace.
