Integrity.

Just be honest and do the right thing. It sounds simple enough, yet in our society it’s hard to find good and honest people; those who have strong moral principles.

Why is it so hard to find people who speak the truth and have a heart for others? Selfishness and individualism have become the norm. “It’s all about ‘me’ and what can I do to make myself happy,” is the phrase used these days.

The Bible teaches that integrity is like a compass that guides our words and actions. What if we compared ourselves to Job in the Bible? Job was a man of integrity. Job, described as blameless and upright, underwent immense trials, including losing his wealth, health, and family. Despite the overwhelming challenges, Job maintained his integrity, refusing to curse God.

Most of us at times may even blame God for our circumstances. How about instead of blaming God, we look within and thank God for all the blessings in our life?

Do the right thing at all times. Be intentional, with a sincere heart and help those in need.

Proverbs 11:3 - “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.”
