I will sing of your love and justice, LORD. I will praise you with songs. I will be careful to live a blameless life—when will you come to help me? I will lead a life of integrity in my own home. I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them. I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil. I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit and pride. I will search for faithful people to be my companions. Only those who are above reproach will be allowed to serve me. I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, and liars will not stay in my presence. My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked and free the city of the LORD from their grip. [Psalm 101.1-8]
Rules to live by?
I think so.
There are many in the world who wish to figure out how we should live. It seems, David had a list of his own.
I am constantly amazed how the Bible contains all the information we need to live if we will just trust God to give it. How it must break His heart when we search in other places.
Father, increasingly more every day You are speaking to me from Your Word. And, it is good like You are good! Thank You that I can rest in You and Your Word. Thank You that Your command to have no other God before You really is liberating to me!
