The Verse of the Day 11 August 2022 MESSAGE
We live in a society that has so lost its sense of moral values that common decency is often not even practiced. Our world no longer honors God and is not concerned about integrity. Whether it involves cheating or committing fraud or speaking half-truths and exaggerations that lead others to believe something that is not true, our culture is saturated with the lies of the enemy.
As believers, we live in the world but are not to be of the world (see John 17:11, 14). If we want to walk in confidence, we cannot compromise our integrity and act as the world does. Integrity is “a firm adherence to a code or standard of values.” Our code is the Word of God. There are certain things we wouldn’t even think of doing, but there are too many compromises, even in the lives of God’s people. There are things we do that Jesus would not do, and He is our standard of integrity.
Integrity is being committed to a life of excellence, as our God is excellent. It is doing the right thing every time, no matter what it costs us.
The Verse of the Day 11 August 2022 PRAYER
Lord, cause Your Word to come alive inside of me that I may conform my life to it. Make me a person of integrity who will not compromise the truth, amen.
