A High Commitment

This is a commitment I need to make regularly:

Psalms 101:1-3 ESV
(1) A Psalm of David. I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will make music.
(2) I will ponder the way that is blameless. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house;
(3) I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.


Verse 3 hits home. While I don't surf porn anymore there are times when I certainly put worthless things before my eyes. This passage reminds me of the folly of that.

Of course, how do I keep this commitment? I think that goes back to Isaiah 55.

We live in a society that puts quite a few "worthless things" in the spotlight.
I'm with you on this one - I want to live a life pleasing to God. And that includes keeping my eyes fixed on the important things - and especially the important One.
