Be a Person of Sincerity and Integrity
Psalm 51:6 (KJV & GNB)
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. *Sincerity and truth are what you require; fill my mind with your wisdom.
--------------------------------------------------------------
There is an incredible boldness that being a person of sincerity and integrity produces within us. In Proverbs 28:1, the Bible indicates that a thief runs when no man pursues him but the
righteous is as bold as a lion. God makes it sufficiently clear that there is no peace for the wicked, Isa.48:22. You free yourself from a lot of unnecessary fear and pressure when you do everything you do with sincerity and integrity of heart. People with integrity do not say one thing and then do another. Their words and their actions are one and the same.
Jesus said that hypocrisy causes people to become like beautiful graves; beautiful on the outside, but dirty and filled with the bones of dead men on the inside, Matt.23:27. Resist the temptation to be like Ananias and Sapphira who were willing to lie about the status quo just to appear good before men, not knowing that their lie would be discovered. Instead, maintain your focus
on being right in the eyes of God, not just in the eyes of men. God hates a false balance, Prov.11:1. A 'false balance' refers to all forms of dishonesty in dealings and all forms of double standards. There is nothing secret that shall not be made known, Luke 8:17.
Do not engage in any form of deception. Be straight forward. Worship God and live your life with all sincerity and integrity. Many believers bring shame to God's name because the way they live their lives is contrary to the message they preach. Live your life in a manner that will continue to bring glory to God's name. Maintaining a good conscience will preserve your faith, 1Tim.1:19. Determine to remain loyal to the truth, no matter the circumstance or situation.
PRAYER FOCUS: Tell God to make you a person of sincerity and integrity. Pray that you will live your life in a way that honours God always.
