Integrity

A good name is more desirable

than great riches...

Proverbs 22:1

How do people think of you?

Can you be described as

trustworthy, faithful,

and a person who always does the right thing?

Or...

are you the one co-workers feel

they must watch out for, because

they never know what you are going to do?

It's easy to develop an attitude that says,

"Oh, I'm a pretty good person.

I do the right thing most of the time."

Or...

"Compared to most people, I'm very honest!"

Here's the problem with that kind of thinking.

You can veer off course just a little bit

and before you know it, you are miles away

from your destination.

And usually, it's the little things that

keep us from fulfilling God's destiny for us.

The Bible tells us that it's the little foxes

that spoil the vine.

Don't allow the little things to rob you.

Choose integrity--

even when no one is looking.

For example,

you may need some paper at home,

but you shouldn't take supplies from the office.

Or, you may be need some extra money this week,

but if the checkout clerk makes a mistake

and gives you back too much money,

that's not God's provision...

instead, that's a test of integrity.

If you'll be faithful and choose integrity

in the little things,

it will lead to great treasure in your life.

Integrity allows God to pour His blessing

on you as you honor Him all the days of your life.

Have a blessed & powerful day!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Heavenly Father, today I commit to live a life of integrity.
