Homethis morning I read from about Psalm 120-141. This past week I was working pretty long hours to get ready for vacation and getting all my hours in and all that. I was up early and getting to bed late. Most of my time was spent with my audio bible (ESV-Max McLean) in Exodus and Leviticus because that is where Brighton and I have been reading. That had enough quandries of it’s own that I’ve been wrestling with. More on that later.
As I finished up reading today in Psalm 141, I again am alerted to David’s continual pleas to the Lord to save him and keep him . check it out…
[Psa 141:3-4 ESV] - Set a guard, O Lord , over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies!
Let us as well ask for similar protection and keeping from evil. Like Daniel, let us not partake of the delicacies of the world, that we are to be set apart. Let there be a clear difference between us and the world.
Let our hearts not incline to evil. Set us apart.
