In this psalm David talks to God about his personal righteousness. David was being slandered. He asks God to vindicate his reputation.

6 I wash my hands to declare my innocence.
I come to your altar, O Lord,
7 singing a song of thanksgiving
and telling of all your wonders.
8 I love your sanctuary, Lord,
the place where your glorious presence dwells.
Psalm 26:6-8 NLT

Shepherd leader, take a moment and think about Psalm 26. Have you been slandered at any time? Like David came to the Father may we ask Him to also vindicate us, examine us, and redeem us.

Live deeply into your calling this week and may you find hope and peace in the Chief and Great Shepherd.
