Please read Psalm 26.

Meditate on verse 1.

Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity,

and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

There are many self-help books for how to become a whole person.  If you have access to a Bible, you do not need to waste a cent on one of those books.  Psalm 26 tells you how to be a complete and whole person of integrity:

1.     Trust in the LORD without wavering (v.1).

2.     Walk in God’s truth (v. 3). 

3.     Do not sit with deceitful, wicked people (v. 4-5).

4.     Do not go with dishonest people (v. 4).

5.     Hate being with evildoers (v. 5).

6.     With thanksgiving, declare the wonders of God (v. 7).

7.     Love being in the LORD’s house (v. 8).

8.     Love the presence of the glory of God (v. 8).

Examine your mind and your heart.  Are you a whole person, a person of integrity?

Pray Psalm 26:9-12 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, do not take _______ and my life away with sinners;

keep our lives away from men of bloodshed. 

Keep us from people in whose hands is a wicked scheme

and whose right hand is full of bribes.

LORD, let us walk in integrity. 

Redeem us and be gracious to us. 

Let our feet stand on a level place.

 In the congregation, let us bless You, LORD.

In Your name, Jesus~”
