Being truthful is a choice.

Your words determine whether you display the character of integrity.


Confession: Integrity will always preserve and keep me
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee (Psalm 25:21).


In today’s video study we are reminded that it is critical to develop a life of integrity, so we can reap all the benefits God has promised us in His Word. From telling the truth to being honest at work, integrity is a critical part of our walk with God.


In this written study we will continue to explore keys that will help us understand that integrity unlocks the flow of blessings God promises for our lives. What does it mean to be a person of integrity? Simply that you do what is right because it is right. It is demonstrating character. Living a life of integrity means being honest, trustworthy, and reliable. It is who you are when no one is looking. A person of integrity represents the Kingdom of God in ways that demonstrate to the world the character, power, and love of God.

Your words determine whether you display the character of integrity. Words have power, and what you say can impact others in a profound way. For example, when you tell a lie, you not only have the potential to deceive yourself, but you destroy trust and respect in your relationships with others. Being dishonest can cause a domino effect that can hurt you and damage your relationships with friends, family, and coworkers. On the other hand, when you speak the truth in love and make sure your words line up with the Word of God, you can create a positive outcome in life and fortify the character of integrity you are seeking to develop.


Being truthful is a choice. Like any attribute of a Believer’s life, integrity can release blessings if you choose to live a life based on truth. When you indulge in dishonesty, there is a consequence. The Bible says, “The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out” (Proverbs 10:9, New International Version). Decide today that you will avoid the crooked paths and live in the freedom that our Father promised.


Overcoming the spirit of deception and deciding to be a person of integrity is one of many tests you will face in life. I encourage you to seek God’s wisdom and meditate on His Word in an effort to grow and mature in your walk with Him. By applying the Word of God to your life, you can be a person of truth and integrity.
