Dear Abba, in reading Psalm 101 this morning, the writer
mentions leading a blameless life or
having a blameless heart. I found myself stumbling over blameless, for while it is my desire, I
know that I am, in my own strength, not blameless. Another translation has the word perfect; meaning complete, whole,
entire, sound or integrity, completeness.
I remember reading somewhere that it can mean to be used for its
intended purpose. One of the commentaries
says that at the time the word meant to be complete towards You, rather than to
be perfect, as in without sin. Either
way, Lord, I need You to accomplish Your perfection in me for without You, I am
lost. I find comfort in knowing that
this is also Your desire for me and therefore it will be accomplished, HAS been
accomplished in Jesus. And in this knowledge I am at peace.
