People who make money, have good looks, are clever or humorous or talented are often looked up to and envied in our world. The characteristic of integrity is not often praised or acknowledged. Yet, a person of integrity has great ability to lead, to influence and be trusted - by men and by God.
Integrity is defined as the quality if being honest, adhering to one's values, to be upright and undivided. It is being the same person in public as one is in private; it is keeping ones word; it is having the same values at home and outside; it is working one's best when no one is around; it is standing up for what is right instead of passively letting something pass.
It doesn't mean being perfect or sinless. It just means that once we sin, we acknowledge we have failed and don't hide what's wrong.
King David in the Bible is a man who was described by God as having "integrity of heart and uprightness". As a result, God entrusted the throne, not just to him, but to his descendants. As we know, David became the ancestor of the heavenly King - Jesus.
It is our turn to walk in integrity. It's not a feeling but it is the challenging decisions that we choose to stand for, which truly makes God proud!
Psalm 41:12
Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.
