The Power of Integrity
"Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness….” — Ephesians 6:14
Integrity is vitally important to our walk with God. People with integrity take responsibility for their actions. They keep their commitments instead of making excuses for not keeping them. They do what they tell people they’re going to do, and if they can't, they give an explanation (not an excuse), and ask to be released from the commitment. We expect God to keep His promises, and He expects us to keep ours. If people truly understood what the word integrity means, we would have more people in the world with good character, striving to keep their integrity. Since God has given us the “breastplate of righteousness,” we know that we are to do battle against the enemy of deceit. Let us all choose to do right and trust God to honor our decisions.
