"The just man walketh in his integrity; his children are blessed after him."
Proverts 20:7
Can I ask you a question? What kind of an example are you leading, as a parent, spouse or neighbor? Integrity, what is that, you may ask? Well let me say this; This world says if we could just arrange conditions where we never have any sorrow, pain, or hurts, then we could change men. If we can change conditions, we can change character. But the Bible teaches just the opposite. The world puts the emphasis on condition--God puts the emphasis on character. Someone has well said you can't purify the water by painting the pump. And yet, that's what we try to do. We think that if we an change the exterior or make conditions such that we never have any hurts, then we're going to be okay, BUT, Jesus put the emphasis upon character. Upon what you are, not what you have. Is there someone in your life you admire? Someone who is a person of integrity. Praise God for His work in that person's life and give him or her a word of encouragement.
