“Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I
wait on thee.” (Psalm 25:21 King James Version)
Do you desire wealth, prestige, integrity
or God? Will you trade your soul to wealth, worldly things, or any worldly
pleasures? I will not ride on my personal conviction if it’s against the Word
of God. May the lost world will see in us as we stand for what is right and
what the Bible stand for. Even if it will cost us our worldly pleasure and
wealth in the name of integrity, dignity, and in the name of God; we must be
straight. We know there are people around us who watch and observe us. We must
protect our testimony. They need Jesus. May the children of God will stand and
serve the Lord with integrity and the fear of God. May the believers of this
present times will stand for what is right and pleasing to the Lord. May all
those who comes behind us could say; “It was indeed a life that was pleasing to
God, and a life that was lived with dignity and integrity.”I desire to live a
life that may not be move and not be overpowered by money, by position, by
people and prosperity.
Our children and the world will
respect us, will look up to us, and trust us; not because of our educational
attainment, not of wealth and success, but because we have integrity. In his
way to death, apostle Paul said; “I have fought a good fight, I have finished
my course, I have kept the faith:” (II Timothy 4:7 KJV) He worked hard for God.
He stood up for God. He died for God, and he died with a testimony, with
legacy, with dignity, with loyalty, and integrity.
The psalmist’s desire should be
everyone’s legacy- “Integrity and uprightness”. At the end of the day, may we
all could say; “By the grace of God, I have kept myself just, I have lived a
life with dignity, and I have walked in my integrity.” The Bible says; “Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he
that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.” (Proverbs 19:1 KJV)
