Walking with Integrity!
I will sing about mercy and justice. O Lord, I will make music to praise you. I want to understand the path to integrity. When will you come to me? I will live in my own home with integrity. I will not put anything wicked in front of my eyes. I hate what unfaithful people do. I want no part of it. I will keep far away from devious minds. I will have nothing to do with evil. I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate anyone with a conceited look or arrogant heart. My eyes will be watching the faithful people in the land so that they may live with me. The person who lives with integrity will serve me. The one who does deceitful things will not stay in my home. The one who tells lies will not remain in my presence.
Psalm 101:1-7
Pastor Dave Short shared verse 6 with me as a reminder that King David learned a very important principle. We will always have slanderers and hurtful people among us yet David learned to keep his eyes on the FAITHFUL. We need to make sure that when we face any trials we keep our eyes on the faithful and remove anyone that is conceited or arrogant! We are here on the earth to serve God and to encourage others to do the same and not seek our own agenda and the things that we find satisfying. Who is it that you can serve today? Ask the Lord to show who you can serve and by serving them share the fact that God loves each and everyone of us!
