This week's teaching devotional:
17th February 2025Integrity has to do with walking in the truth or in principles of rightness of behaviour (based on the Bible) and doing so with harmony between our hearts and mouths. Since the fall of man, sin has made it difficult, if not impossible, to walk in integrity without divine help from God. The word is from the word "integer" which means a whole number. Being whole implies being able to let the mouth and the heart say the same thing. The nature inherited in Adam and our cultures alongside with our upbringing all puts in us a disposition that is contrary to integrity. Unhealthy comparisons, competitive jealousy and selfish ambitions all lodged into our hearts are hard to deal with if we are to maintain 'truth in the inward parts according to Psalms 51:6. Truth here means rightness, trust worthiness and derives from the verb meaning to be firm, permanent and established, conveying the sense of dependability, firmness and reliability. Truth is therefore something upon which a person may confidently stake his life. Truth also means reality. The reality of anything is the truth of it. God"s truth is His reality. Our hearts need to be true to the ever present seeing eyes of God and attempt to stay true to a Holy God.
Wisdom Key: Being whole implies being able to let your mouth and the heart say the same thing.
Memory Verse: "Let Integrity and uprightness preserve me for I wait for you" (Psalms 25:21)
Life Application: How can we come to place where our hearts and our mouths are in alignment with each other?
