Pretty or Pure

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.”  Psalm 15:2

What about the one that walks,
And his steps are always sure?
With circumspect and discretion,
His walk he will insure! 

What about the righteous one,
Of him what could be said?
He is virtuous and clean,
And never hangs his head!

What about the one,
That never speaks a lie?
Others will trust in him,
And on him they can rely!

So be careful in the steps you take,
And live your life real clean.
Be careful of what you speak,
And on Jesus may you lean!

There is nothing better than living a clean honest life.  The cleaner a person is the happier they are.  They have family and friends that love them for what they are and their lives are filled with joy.  When they go to bed, sleep is sweet.

We can only be so clean by ourselves.  We can clean ourselves up and make ourselves pretty clean but without Christ we will never be pure clean!

“Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.  Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.  If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:  But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”  Isaiah 1:16-20
