Integrity was a complex term that I failed to understand for a pretty long time. Somehow I couldn't grasp the meaning of it.
But I presume the best definition of integrity is seen in Psalm:1:1
📎 Not follow the advice of the wicked
📎 Not stand around sinners
📎 Not join with mockers.
Someone who doesn't compromise on his values, his standards and what he believes. Always. Without any fail.
He is not a person who believes in something and does the opposite.
He is a person who sticks on to what he believes in his heart.
Such a man is called blessed. Blessed is a man with integrity - To paraphrase it.
How does he get his values? That's because he delights in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.
And what's the blessing?
Like 🌲 trees planted by the river - being nurtured and provided with all the time with all you need.
Bearing fruit 🍎 in all season - being enabled to do what you are supposed to do.
They prosper in all they do.
And the Lord will watch over the path of the godly.
Contrastingly the wicked are like chaff that is scattered by the wind. They have something interesting here, they follow it; something interesting there, they leave this and follow that.
Consistency which comes out of integrity, comes out of our knowledge of the faithful God. What I pursue will be reflected.
Lord help me to be a man of integrity, not compromising on what I believe. To always cling on to your standards and your values, to always cling on to you and always delight in you.
Amen
