Psalm 101

“I will give heed to the blameless way” (v2). No one follows “the blameless way” naturally. We have to “give heed” or pay attention; we have to deliberately set boundaries that keep us on the path. The psalmist determined to keep his eyes (and passions) focused on God, not “worthless things” (v3). He was careful about what might “fasten its grip” on his heart. He avoided close relationships with those who despised God (v5,7).

“My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land” (v6). When our eyes and hearts are God’s, the blameless way isn’t so hard to follow.
