Verses 2b-3a...
"I will walk with integrity of heart
within my house;
I will not set before my eyes
anything that is worthless."
This morning's sermon was titled "Known by God" (Gal. 4:9 ... part of Pastor's current book series). We cannot hide from God, though our heart is naturally deceitful. Psalm 139 is centered on the theme of God's intimate knowledge of me. It is in light of these truths that David's resolution in Psalm 101 strikes me.
Sometimes I waste time on worthless pastimes, shallow entertainments that lack integrity or spiritual value. I cannot use the excuse, "I have no confidant to be my accountability partner." I have the constant convicting and guiding agent of God's Holy Spirit indwelling me!
When I move back to set up my own little apartment again this fall, I want to frame these verses and hang them in my home. If I truly love God I will hate sin, because it is displeasing to Him.
