David boldly stated his ideal when he declared, “I will be careful to live a blameless life.” Although there was no TV, he committed, “I will not look with approval on anything that is vile.”

As Paul gave his final challenge to Timothy concerning his lifestyle as a Christian leader, he said, “… Pursue righteousness … keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

God gives us His grace to contend for lifestyles that honor Him. He shed His blood to keep us clean.

PRAYER: Father, forgive us for our shortcomings. We want to follow You with holy living. Empower us with Your grace to accomplish this.
