“Walking In God’s Integrity”
by Dona Hake
Today we will meditate upon how our integrity which comes from following the Lord will guide us through our journey in life. First I would love for you to read this short quote as we think about our Lord guiding us in the ways and path of integrity.
“God shall be my hope, My stay, my guide and lantern to my feet.”
William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare
If God is our hope, He is always ahead of us. Our eyes are fixed on Him with great confidence and expectation. When we see Him as our stay, He is always all that we need in the present. He shall be the loving Anchor of our soul, and we shall not be moved. When He is our guide, He is the ultimate compass that moves in the greatest of accuracy. As He is our lantern to our feet we will be moving in His divine direction with great illumination all around us. I believe this is living and moving and having our total being in Him. As we do this, we will live by the integrity of His precepts that He has commanded us to walk in.
As we practice living, breathing and moving by the Spirit of the Living God, we will be a people of great honor and integrity. From the depths of our being there will be a passionate desire to please Him and do the right thing. Oh the beauty of walking in the integrity of our God!
Proverbs 11:3
New Life Version
“The honor of good people will lead them…”
New Life Version
“The honor of good people will lead them…”
We thank you Lord that Your integrity shall guide us, and Your integrity will also draw people to You! We praise You for being our Hope, our Stay, our Guide, and the Lantern to our feet that we may exhibit integrity in our lives.
