Todays Verse From the New Living Translation I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil. I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit and pride. I will search for faithful people to be my companions. Only those who are above reproach will be allowed to serve me. I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, and liars will not stay in my presence. My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked and free the city of the LORD from their grip. Psalm 101:4–8 View In Context Encouragement for Today The Psalmist expresses his hatred of evil and how he wants to use his power as king to execute righteousness and justice. He will protect the godly and allow only those who are above reproach to serve him. Are your standards this high for your own associates? What about for your childrens companions? Whats the difference between holding to high, holy standards, and being a snob? Perhaps this: you focus on the standard itself, and hold yourself to it as well. How does your own pursuit of righteousness hold up against these verses? —Diane Eble, author of Abundant Gifts: A Daybook of Grace-Filled Devotions
