Be for RealSample

Have you ever tried to do the right thing, but things still didn’t go as you hoped they would? Maybe it was losing a friend because you didn’t want to make the same choices or face consequences for telling the truth. Daniel experienced something similar when he was thrown into a den of lions for choosing to honor God. While God protected Daniel, it wasn’t a reward for his actions—it was a reminder that God is always with us. Integrity can often feel like this, even when it’s difficult—not because we expect things to go perfectly, but because the process of practicing it honors God and shapes who we are.

Today, think about a situation where you can practice trusting God to help you act with integrity, even if it’s difficult, and pray for strength to follow through.
