I will be careful to live a blameless life.
I will lead a life of integrity in my own home.
I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar.
I will search for faithful people to be my companions.
Psalm 101:2-3, 6 (NLT)

This list of “I wills” convicted me this morning…challenged me to think about how intentionally I am living my life (especially my spiritual life). I am challenged by King David laying out a set of principles that he established and committed to in his daily walk.

And the items on the list…how he set about living before God…is challenging as well. Look at it:

1. Live a blameless life: No pressure here!
2. Integrity in my home: Notice he says at home…where it’s easy to not have integrity.
3. Refuse to look at vile and vulgar: Especially tough for men (and this was over 2,000 years ago…not much has changed since then).
4. Faithful companions: Good reminder to surround ourselves with people who will inspire us instead of bringing us down.

For today at least, I am adopting this prayer of David. I am taking up the challenge of living my life with intentionality and with a higher purpose. These goals King David laid out are so high and lofty that that can only be accomplished with God’s help!
