“Joyful are people of integrity,
who follow the instructions of the Lord.
Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their
hearts. They do not compromise with
evil, and they walk only in his paths.” Psalm 119:1-3
A person of
integrity is one who adheres to a strict, unwavering moral and ethical
code. A Christian needs to be that type
of person. One who follows the decrees
of the Lord. One who keeps themselves
unspoiled by the world. One who is continuously
sincere in their intentions. A person
who keeps the truth of God tucked in his heart and lives by it. Too many people today base their faith on
being a good, kind person, yet has never seen the need to surrender their will
completely over to Jesus Christ.
The person
who searches for God will search for Him not with their minds, but with their
hearts. The spiritual pilgrimage they
embark on will enable them to find true happiness and contentment. There is no other way to heaven but by the narrow
path God lays before each redeemed soul.
We must not compromise our faith with evil, for then we make His grace
and mercy a cheap thing.
We must
take the time to learn of the character of the Lord and then, with the help of
the Holy Spirit within, must begin to imitate what we have learned. The world needs an infusion of truth and they
are more likely to listen if we show them the love of Christ, rather then
simply talk about it. Be Christ to those
around you. Especially in this day and
age when Christianity is mocked and ridiculed as a sham. Now more than ever we must be Christ to our
world. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
