LIVING IN DIVINE INTEGRITY



There is a quote from Tony Dugny that reads: “Integrity is a choice between what is easy and what is right.” As His church, we are called to follow Jesus' example and live in integrity. Therefore, we must always choose what is in accordance with the truth of God's Word, even though it is sometimes difficult to do.

How to build integrity in our daily life?

1. Honesty in Words

Integrity is closely related to honesty. As it is written in Matthew 5:37, “If yes, say yes, if no, say no. Anything more than that comes from the evil one." We must have the courage to speak the truth regardless of the consequences.

2. Honesty in Actions

Be honest in all situations and conditions. Not just when other people see it or when things are going well. We can learn from Joseph, who even though he was tempted by Potiphar's wife when no one was home, he still refused. Likewise, with Job, who lived righteously even though he was experiencing great suffering.

3. Words = Actions

In other words, not NATO (“No Action Talk Only”). To build integrity, every word we say must be followed by appropriate action. Likewise, every promise and commitment that we have made must be fulfilled, whether in family, work or ministry.

The beginning of this year can be a good time to introspect to what extent we have lived with integrity. Let's ask the Holy Spirit to guide our every step and decision this year to always be in accordance with His word.

Prayer: 

Lord Jesus, in this year we long to live in integrity. Enable us to always speak and act honestly in all situations and conditions. Holy Spirit, remind us if there are promises or commitments that we have not fulfilled. Lead our every decision according to Your word. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
