Living With Integrity
Psalms 25:21 (NIV) "May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope is in you."
Living with integrity and living in a moral and ethical manner has
advantages. When things go bad in life, we tend to forget about living
with integrity. In adversity, we tend to get desperate. In adversity, we
start to do things we would not normally do. However, having integrity
means we stay the same person no matter what happens. When we have
integrity, no matter how bad things get we do not come unglued. To have
integrity requires an inner strength found only in God.
When everything has come apart on you, there can be a time when you
have no inner strength. It is a time like this when you need integrity.
The reason integrity is so important is because integrity keeps you more
"together" or integrated. Integrity keeps you from coming
apart so easily. We get our integrity and our inner strength when it
seems we have no strength by trusting God is working everything out so
He will be glorified in all we do. We get integrity when we trust God to
work everything out to our heavenly benefit. In real life, many times it
seems God is either against us or at the very least is not for us. Many
times it seems God does not deliver what we want, when we want it.
However, let us tell the truth. God is not an angry or vengeful person.
God only wants the best for you and in His time, in His wisdom, and in
His plan you can find enormous hope every day of your life. In God, you
can always trust, and in this trust, you can become a person of
integrity.
