Psalm 101 – Aspirational or Actual?

I will be careful to lead a blameless life (Psalm 101:2).

When shall I attain it?

Then this list of all the ways I’ll be perfect and all the ways I’ll mistreat people who aren’t up to snuff. Spiritual pride is also a thing.  And here I am caught up in it too just by pointing that out. And at the same time, there is value in having a community standard and consequences of being stiff necked about not working on being that standard.  

Let’s love God, just me and me.  That’s what I have agency over. I will walk with integrity. I will check in with God on the regular.  Posture checks every 20 seconds! Pray continually! 

I’ll leave all the “cutting off evil-doers” to David to figure out.
