Integrity in the Home

2025-08-17

Psalm 101 These are the resolutions David, the man after God’s own heart, makes before the Lord as he accepts the responsibility for his house that God has given him. At the heart of the psalm and his resolutions, we find verse 2. I will walk with integrity of heart within my house; If we are to prepare our home, we must prepare our heart. That’s where it must begin.

Psalm 101

These are the resolutions David, the man after God’s own heart, makes before the Lord as he accepts the responsibility for his house that God has given him. At the heart of the psalm and his resolutions, we find verse 2.

I will walk with integrity of heart within my house;

If we are to prepare our home, we must prepare our heart. That’s where it must begin.

This psalm is likely written with David’s kingship in mind. Possibly written as a precursor to bringing the Ark of the Covenant into the City of David, David resolves before the Lord to walk in integrity in his kingdom. This job that David has for the kingdom, you have for your home. So you must attend to your heart so that you can attend to your home.

As we go through this psalm we find a list of resolutions that David makes. We can break these resolutions into two kinds. David makes resolutions that have to do with what goes into his heart and resolutions that have to do with what comes out.
