(101:1) A Bameless Life - David may have written this psalm early in his reign as king as he decided the standards by which he wanted to live. David knew that to lead a blameless life he would need God's help (101:2). We can lead blameless lives if we avoid (r) looking at wickedness-anything vile or vulgar (101.3), (2) evil thoughts or associates (lOrd), (3) slander (1015), and (4) pride (LOt.5). While avoiding these wrongs, we must also let God's Word show us the standards by which to live. 

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today, we continue in the Book of Psalms with Chapter 101. In our text today, we see a theme of a prayer for help to walk a blameless path and to live with integrity. My eye is drawn to verse 3, where David says He will set no evil thing before his eye. In applying, we see that the step to righteousness involves separating from evil in our environment. A conscious effort to remove these impurities will have an eternal effect on our lives. Keeping the evil away will allow us to win battles that we will never be tempted to enter. How about you? Do you control what you watch with your eyes? Let us learn from our Psalm and text today to remember to make an effort to see not Evil so we will not be tempted to sin or disobey our Lord.
