Today’s Scripture
“To set high standards for someone else, and then not live up to them yourself, is something that God truly hates. But it pleases him when we apply the right standards of measurement. When you act with presumption, convinced that you’re right, don’t be surprised if you fall flat on your face! But walking in humility helps you to make wise decisions. Integrity will lead you to success and happiness, but treachery will destroy your dreams. When Judgment Day comes, all the wealth of the world won’t help you one bit. So you’d better be rich in righteousness, for that’s the only thing that can save you in death. Those with good character walk on a smooth path, with no detour or deviation. But the wicked keep falling because of their own wickedness. Integrity will keep a good man from falling. But the unbeliever is trapped, held captive to his sinful desires.”
Proverbs 11:1-5

Today’s Thought
Integrity is a Godly characteristic that you must develop and its greatest test is discovered in the face of temptation to compromise. Walking away from temptation with your integrity intact is the key.

Today’s Confession
Father, thank you that I can walk boldly in integrity. Thank you that anything that comes to test my integrity will not allow compromise in my life. Help me to walk away from temptation and strengthen my integrity through the revelation of your love.
