Psalm 101:2-3
I will set before my eyes no vile thing!
I will walk in my house
with a blameless heart...
I will set before my eyes no vile thing!
I will walk in my house
with a blameless heart...
Dictionary.com defines VILE as:
| 1. | wretchedly bad: a vile humor. |

| 9. | degraded; ignominious: vile servitude. |
...BLAMELESS as:
free of guilt; not subject to blame; "has lived a blameless life"; "of irreproachable character"; "an unimpeachable reputation"
As I begin studying this verse, those definitions, as well as the definitions of the definition, it becomes very clear to me that I am far from blameless and I get discouraged.
Does that mean I quit trying?
Nope...
Does that mean I give up on those things that God has called me into?
Nope...
Does that mean that I allow the enemy to steal my destiny?
Nope...
It just means I need my Savior each and every moment of my day to purify and sanctify me. On my own, I could change for a little while, but lasting change comes when God purges our hearts, and renews us with His spirit. Jesus covers us with the blood of Jesus, and therefore, we stand pure and spotless before our King. Be encouraged today as God continues to help us to work out our salvation and don't let the enemy tell you that you may as well just quit!

It is always about who He is and what He did for us. He told Abram,
"I am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless Gen 17:1
NIV
Let's keep walking Heaven. He's so worth it! B
Keep hanging in there. God forgives and takes your sin as far as the east from the west!
