Psalm 19:11-14, ESV
Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:11-14, JN paraphrase
Yes, I am warned, KEEP THE LAW OF THE LORD. Sometimes it is a struggle to avoid presumptuous sin, but worth while. Keep those sins from having control of my life and actions. It is only when my words andd actions are acceptable in Your sight that I know I am living according to Your Law.

Man – The Dwelling Place of God, by A. W. Tozer. From the preface: “The chapters in this book deal with many of the aspects of one subject: the relationship of God and man. They are above all practical and all who read them will profit.” Each chapter is short and easily adapted to a daily devotional. Try it! I find it fits well into my end of day devotionals.
