Walking with Integrity

Scripture – Proverbs 10:8-9: 8The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin. 9The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.

Reflection: One of the things I learned a long time ago is, if I tell the truth, I don’t have to worry about keeping my story straight. I don’t have to try and remember what I told this person or that person. There’s great freedom and security in that.

There’s a daily devotional book some of us follow called Men of Integrity. My goal is to make that more than a catch-phrase. I have tried to maintain my integrity before God and people. The more I do that, the more secure my steps in life are.

Lord, please keep teaching me what integrity and honesty mean. Help me let those values become part of who I am in all I do. Thank you for your grace in my life when I fall short.
