PHOTO: Psalm 101
to you, O Lord, I will sing praise.
I will be careful to lead a blameless life —
when will you come to me?
I will walk in my house
with blameless heart.
I will set before my eyes
no vile thing.
The deeds of faithless man I hate;
They will not cling to me.
Men of perverse heart shall be far from me;
I will have nothing to do with what is evil.
Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret,
him will I put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart,
him will I not tolerate.
My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
he whose walk is blameless
will minister to me.
No one who practices deceit
will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
will stand in my presence.
Every morning I will put to silence
all the wicked in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer
from the city of the Lord.
This story reminded me of the psalmist David's commitment to integrity. Although he made some terrible choices in his life, Psalm 101 declares his resolve to live blamelessly. His integrity would begin in the privacy of his own house (Psalm 101:2) and extend to his choice of colleagues and friends (Psalm 101:6--7). In sharp contrast to the corrupt lives of most kings of the ancient Near East, David's integrity led him to respect the life of his sworn enemy, King Saul (1 Samuel 24:4-6, 26:8-9).
As followers of Jesus, we are called to walk in integrity and to maintain a clear conscience. When we honor our commitments to God and to others, we will walk in fellowship with God. Our integrity will guide us (Proverbs 11:3) and help us walk securely (Proverbs 10:9).

Psalm 101
I will sing of your love and justice;
to you, O Lord, I will sing praise.
I will be careful to lead a blameless life —
when will you come to me?
I will walk in my house
with blameless heart.
I will set before my eyes
no vile thing.
The deeds of faithless man I hate;
They will not cling to me.
Men of perverse heart shall be far from me;
I will have nothing to do with what is evil.
Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret,
him will I put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart,
him will I not tolerate.
My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
he whose walk is blameless
will minister to me.
No one who practices deceit
will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
will stand in my presence.
Every morning I will put to silence
all the wicked in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer
from the city of the Lord.

PHOTO: Officials in Philadelphia were astonished to receive a letter and payment from a motorist who had been given a speeding ticket in 1954. John Cedge, an English tourist, had been visiting the City of Brotherly Love when he was cited for speeding. The penalty was fifteen dollars, but Cedge forgot about the ticket for almost fifty-two years until he discovered it in an old coat. "I thought, I've got to pay it," said Cedge, 84, who now lives in a nursing home in East Sussex. "Englishmen pay their debts. My conscience is clear."
