What Does The Bible Say About Integrity

 Tonight we are going to look at What Does The Bible Say About Integrity? I want to start off with some scriptures.

The scriptures we will take a look at are Proverbs 20 verse 7, Phillipians 2 verse 13, Psalm 26 verse 11, Leviticus 19 verse 18, Ezekial 18 verse 7-9, Proverbs 3 verse 3, Genesis 20 verse 5-6, 1 Samuel 29 verse 6, Numbers 16 verse 15, and the last scripture we will look at is Psalm 41 verse 11-13. Thank you all for reading. I would like to share a quote on integrity before going further into what I want to share when I was preparing for this tonight. The quote I would like to share with all of you says this: Integrity is keeping a commitment even after circumstances have changed. Here is something I would now like to share.

When we think of Integrity, we think of God who shows us those He chose to be leaders, His followers, and His Servants. We see how God gives us strength to do all things through Him that gives us strength. I think of Integrity not as a way of showing right from wrong but I see it as a way of standing up for what is right, when things happen that can be in a way unfair or unkind. We want to treat people the way they would want to be treated and that is with Respect. When I think of the word respect, I think of how that can show true integrity in our Faith walk with God because He helps us through the toughest storms and trials that we face in our lives. We are far from perfect but we know that as God's Children, we don't have to be because He doesn't expect us to be perfect. He doesn't want that for our lives, because it isn't in His plan. If we were all made to be that way in a sense, we would already know what God has planned for our lives. God doesn't want us to know everything that He has planned for our lives, and He doesn't expect us to understand it fully either. We think of Integrity, and we think of Humbleness. We think of Humbleness, and we then think of Humility and Kindness. These traits are a great form of what Integrity is in our lives, the integrity that is Spiritual and the Integrity that God gives us.

If I were to describe the word Integrity in my own words and to help someone understand what it meant, I would describe it this way to them: Inspire New Trust Grace Respect Inspirational Trustworthy Yearning. We Inspire others by giving them a new way to look at things with Grace and Respect. We give them an inspirational outlook at God's Creations, and show them that He is Trustworthy and how we can be Yearning for Him and His Word each and every single day.

God gives us a peace in knowing that no matter what we face in our lives that with dignity, integrity, the love and compassion, the kindness, the humbleness, humility, grace, respect, joy, happiness, and everything else He has given us to grow with Him in our walks of Faith and Relationship with Him that we don't have to be afraid because the enemy won't win. The enemy won't win because God always wins the battles and because God always wins our battles that we face in this world, He shows time and time again that true integrity can come from Him and be given to us by Him, if we just be still and know, and let Him help us in our life to show us that and be able to know there is nothing to big or too small for Him to handle in our own life, but what goes on in our world now.

God can get us through it, but we need to first let go and surrender it all to Him. When we can do that, we can start to see the results and the things that He has planned for each of us.

When we think about Spirtual Integrity and what it means especially with the words humility, discernment, and heart, how do we now take those things to heart? How can we be the children that God has called us to be in His presence, in order to be His true Servants?

Thank you all for sharing, I like to share a quote. The quote says this: ''I don't always feel His presence, but God's promises do not depend upon my feelings; they rest upon His integrity.''

I like to share a song called Friend Of God where the lyrics say this: Who am I that You are mindful of me, That You hear me when I call,  Is it true that You are thinking of me

How You love me it's amazing, I am a friend of God, I am a friend of God, I am a friend of God, He calls me friend

God Almighty, Lord of Glory, You have called me friend

I am a friend of God, I am a friend of God, I am a friend of God, He calls me friend, He calls me friend, He calls me friend...  With these lyrics we see that God calls us friend because we always have a special relationship with Him that not only are we friends with God but we are His children. We are fearfully and wonderfully made by Him. He doesn't give up on us, and because He doesn't give up on us, we don't have to worry because He's fighting for us. He fights for us every single day, and why is that? Well let me reshare the quote I did before the song with all of you.

''I don't always feel His presence, but God's promises do not depend upon my feelings; they rest upon His integrity.''

Before I share what I would like to leave all of you with tonight, I like to let anyone share prayer requests and any last minute comments. Thank you all for sharing. Here is what I would like to leave all of you with tonight.

The first thing, says this: ''God doesn't call us to easy; He calls us to be Christ-Like.''

The second thing says: 

Finally, here are the last little things I would like to end on.

God can even give you the strength to keep going within those difficult situations. God calls us to maintain our faith and integrity and we respond by trusting in Him.

Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.
