We call it the Integrity League, but it’s really just a bunch of guys who get together at lunchtime to play basketball. We call fouls on ourselves, attempt to avoid angry outbursts, and simply try to keep everything fair and enjoyable. We are competitive and we don’t like to lose—but we all agree that integrity and honesty should control the atmosphere. Integrity. Scripture clearly indicates the importance of this trait. And we honor the God of our lives when we practice it. Through His Word, God has given us clear reasons to “walk in . . . integrity” (Ps. 26:11 But I am not like that; I live with integrity.So redeem me and show me mercy.) A person who has integrity has the security of a quiet life unknown to the one who “perverts his ways” (Prov. 10:9 Honest people are safe and secure, but the dishonest will be caught.). The follower of God who lives with integrity is preserved by his confidence in God, for that person waits for God’s intervention in his life instead of running ahead of Him (Ps. 25:21 May my goodness and honesty preserve me, because I trust in you). And the one who practices integrity will be given guidance and clear direction (Prov. 11:3 If you are good, you are guided by honesty. People who cant be trusted are destroyed by their own dishonesty). Why should we care about life’s “Integrity League”? Because obeying God this way shows that we trust Him with our lives and that we want to shine His great love on others. INTEGRITY IS CHRISTLIKE CHARACTER IN WORK CLOTHES.
