Integrity
Integrity- The quality of being honest and having
strong moral principles; moral uprightness, the state of being whole and
undivided.
Can we say of this world today that integrity is easily found? Where can we
show integrity in our own lives? What are the consequences of not walking in
integrity? These questions may come to mind when we consider the meaning of the
word integrity but would we be able to demonstrate this quality if we faced a
real trial.
Daniel and his friends were able through their faith in God to be men of
integrity in a world completely removed from the one they had been raised. They
were completely removed from their homeland and family and taken into an alien
place where no one ate the same foods or had the same orals or worshipped the
same God. Yet they had the integrity to stand up and ask to be allowed to do
things the right way. Not the popular way, not the easy way and not even the
expected way but the right way. Through your reading of Daniel chapter 1 take
time to ask God for a deeper insight into the places inside your heart where
integrity is ingrained or where you lack the needed integrity to withstand the
worldly things encountered daily. If you find anything that would separate you
from serving God with integrity ask Him to help you to be an over comer in that
area. Let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart in such a way that you know, that
you know, what is the correct and perfect way to walk in integrity.
Read Daniel Chapter 1
