I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt
thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. (Psa
101:2)
It is one thing to live a glorious public life but a greater
thing to live a victorious private life. It is relatively easier to be
blameless when there is external encouragement, but true strength is when one
is able to be blameless hidden from man’s eyes.
Our private misbehaviors cannot be overcome unless there is
a sense of deep humility to concede and dare not trust our heart. The only
trust is on our God and Savior Who knows every intent and true
condition of the heart. The moment we say we have self confidence to overcome,
it will be the next moment that we find ourselves falling. Good intentions
cannot help us, only living in the state of life that is as though walking on
thin ice, trusting no one but on Christ alone.
A perfect heart is one of highest integrity. One of high
integrity is one with a steadfast God-strengthened spirit to be consistent in
every dealings of life. The steadfastness of spirit is a wall of protection
against grief and regrets. Jesus says ‘come’ and He will provide all that is
necessary to be privately victorious.
