Walk in
the paths of righteousness, for His name sake, like in Psalm 23.
Rightousness—right living in God’s way, with integrity. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for You. Psalms 25:21 It is good to have integrity in
life—to walk in an upright way before man and God. What good would it be to be
rich if a person were not honest and upright, a person with integrity? His
conscience wouldn’t allow him to truly enjoy his money, his riches. It is
better to have a clear conscience and be poor, to live an upright and honest
life, even in poverty.
Psalm 25:21 tells us…Let integrity
and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for You. Integrity and right living
will preserve or save us…from harm and from stupid stuff or evil that would get
us in trouble.
Training Tip – In a sandbox or bucket filled with sand stand up
some popsicle stick like people. Have some of them standing straight up and others
falling over. Explain that those that are standing upright are the people of
integrity who live right and please God. Those who are falling down are those
who are weak and evil. Which do you want to be?
Lord – May my children and grandchildren have the
virtue of integrity in their lives that will protect them from evil.
Continuing
