A WALK IN INTEGRITY

 

Text: Psalm 26:1-2 (KJV)

Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

Friends, integrity is honest living which is the core of our Christian life. So, it is a consistent walk with the fear of God that keeps us upright even when no one is watching you but your conscience is active. Yes, it is a walk of integrity that separates us from the negative norms that are littered in our society today.  We have a duty to wash our hands off from mischief as we hate evil association that makes us to sit with the wicked. Proverb 10:9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.  Today, many are sitting with vain persons that influence their decisions into evil. Therefore, let’ examine ourselves, prove us from inside out because God looks not on our countenance but our inward disposition. So, it a choice to declare as - for me I will walk in mine integrity by God’s mercy today.

Amazingly, we have a decision to walk with the truth as the word of God is the manual for the truth.  Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. So, you must remain steadfast with the truth and not with pretense. Just like men of old, Job, Joseph, David etc, said I have trusted in the Lord, hence our attitude must start by building confidence in the almighty for on our own we can do nothing. Hence, it is possible to speak and walk in honesty daily by the help of the Lord in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, strengthen us as to examine our hearts, actions, and thought as to please the Lord in all our endeavors in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, there is a reward for the upright.
