Good Tuesday Morning Blog Family. I pray everyone’s having a safe and blessed week so far. Praise God.
The definition of integrity: The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
I remember working for a trucking company in the payroll department with a couple of ladies. We were always coming up with ideas to make our department better. We dealt with our drivers everyday and a lot of different personalities and attitudes. So, we chose a word and made it visible to everyone that came in our department and we were going to focus on living out that word everyday. The word I chose was Integrity and that word is still very important to me today. To live a life of integrity.
Simply put, always choose to do the right thing no matter what or who’s watching. I always say, if the decision or choice is too hard. Think about it this way. What would Jesus have done? Jesus always did the right thing. No matter what, where He was or who was there. So if we were to always think about what Jesus would have done. We would always choose to do the right thing. Then living a life of integrity would be easy.
Being a person of your word is very important. If you tell someone you are going to do something, then do it. You made a promise to someone, then keep that promise. If you told someone that you would call, then call them. Telling that person you would stop by sometime and check in on them, then do that. Be on time for work and other appointments. Watch how you treat and talk to people, be humble at all times.
Psalm 41: 11-13 reads “(11)By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me. (12)But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. (13)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen.”
Proverbs 2:6-8 reads “(6)For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; (7)He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; (8)He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.
So, as you can see in the scriptures above. God expects us to live a life of integrity and to be a person of integrity. Strive to please God more and not people. God Bless 🙂
Prayer
Father God, I come before You this morning in the Mighty Name of Jesus as humbly as I know how. Asking You to help me to be that person of integrity that You made me to be. Living my life and treating people in a way that would make You proud. Helping me to be that same humble person in public as well as behind close doors. I pray this in Jesus Name. Thank You Father and Amen.
