Living With Integrity

Integrity is the idea that something is sound in construction. That the thing we purchased is worth the value, we paid, and it meets the demands of its use. When it does not meet the demands of use, we would say its integrity failed. But integrity also can be applied to us—people. When it comes to people, we can live with integrity or without integrity. At a basic level, this could mean that we do what we say we are going to do—and yes this is one manifestation of integrity. But on another level, there is a type of integrity which is far more critical. The way we understand this integrity is by following the Creator's intent and intended use.

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.—Proverbs 19:21

DO THIS: Live with God's determined integrity.

PRAYER: God, may my character, values, and purposes match with your intent today.
