Pr. 6:13 describes a wicked man: “He winks with his eyes, he shuffles with his feet, he points with his fingers.”
In other words, he can not be trusted.
And then, in Psalm 7:8, we read the words of David, “The Lord shall judge the peoples; judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and acccording to my integrity within me.”
What a striking contrast. David actually invites the Lord to judge him according to his integrity. As Christians, we already know God will judge us; however, David’s conscience is so clean that he invites God to do this.
Lord, You said that David was a man after Your own heart. Like David, make us more like You. Help us to be full of integrity, Father, and contrite when we’re not. We love You, Lord, and long to honor You with our lives. Help us to be the ones of which it can be said, “Yes. They can be trusted.”
Genuinely,
