Wanting to live with integrity is only part of the process. The other part is knowing what the right thing to do is before we can actually do it. So how do we learn to sense what is right or helpful as we go through life and navigate relationships and leadership?

Throughout the Bible, we see people putting their faith in action and showing integrity. It looks like Daniel, who refused to pray to another God, or Joseph who honored God despite some crazy events that happened. When we see how an encounter with Jesus changes Zacchaeus and his relationship to his community, we see integrity at work. Jesus demonstrates integrity when faced with all the challenges of being human — not giving into temptation, and loving people.

The first part of integrity (knowing the right thing to do) comes from spending time with Jesus and learning about God through reading the Bible. All these people may not have known what to do in the exact moment, same as us. But, they all had a relationship with God that taught them how to interact with the people around them and demonstrate integrity.

When you read the Bible, what stands out to you about integrity? Today, take some time to pray about how you can use some of the stories you know from the Bible as examples for integrity. Write some of your thoughts down and talk with a friend about them.
