Joyful Are People of Integrity!

Today, my Reading Through the Bible assignment included Psalm 119. The first section of that psalm totally captivated my heart! How fitting that I would read it today - the first day of 2007. I'm going to claim it as my theme for the new year. I copied the essence of it here. Isn't it beautiful?

Joyful are people of integrity,
who follow the instructions of the Lord . . .
who obey his laws . . .
who search for him with all their hearts . . .
who do not compromise with evil . . .
who walk only in his paths.

Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your decrees!

As I learn your righteous regulations,
I will thank you by living as I should . . .
I will obey your decrees . . .

Please don’t give up on me!

~ Psalm 119:1-8 ~

Does this passage challange you and stir your heart as it does mine? I encourage you to find a passage that speaks to you and claim it as your theme for the new year.
