Come
Before Him with Joyful Singing
David wrote, “I will walk within my
house in the integrity of my heart. I will set no worthless thing before my
eyes” (Psalms 101:2-4). The Lord commended David’s integrity and told Solomon, “If
you will walk before me, as David your father walked, with integrity of heart
and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you…then I will establish
your royal throne over Israel forever” (1 Kings 9:4-5). Do we walk within our
house (in our secret places… where only God sees) in the integrity of our
hearts? “He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of
justice and watching over the way of His saints” (Proverbs 2:6-8). “The upright
will inhabit the land, and those with integrity will remain in it…” (Proverbs
2:20-21). “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways
crooked will be found out” (Proverbs 10:9). “The integrity of the upright
guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them” (Proverbs
11:3). Help us, dear Father, to walk in the integrity of our hearts. Shield us
from dishonoring Your name, whether it be in public, or in the privacy of our own
homes. Help us to set a pure and upright example for our children (Proverbs
20:7,11) so that they will also walk in integrity. And may the integrity of our
hearts glorify your name in every thought, word and deed.
