Psalm 119:1

Blessed are the undefiled in the way,
Who walk in the law of the LORD!—Ps 119:1

Walking in the law of the Lord keeps us pure and undefiled by sin. Our way is prospered and we are blessed.   

Father...may I walk habitually in this way.  Free me from the bonds and deceit of my past that have darkened my thinking and perverted my way.  Open my eyes that I might see the wondrous things in Your word...lighten my path and make my way straight before your face.  Your word tells me that I am blessed not by hearing your word, but by doing it.  Fill me with Your Spirit and direct my steps to seek You FIRST.  Thank you Father that my sin is covered and my transgressions have been forgiven. You are my hiding place...You preserve me from trouble. Whoever listens to You, will dwell in safety and will be secure, without fear of evil.  


Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.—Psalm 1:1-3

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.—Colossians 3:17

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.—Philippians 3:12-15


Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.—Psalm 139:23-24
