Integrity Of Heart

__

od spoke to Solomon as he was building the temple. He promised to establish

his kingdom over Israel forever and all Solomon needed do was to walk before
God as David, his father did (1 Kings 9:4). How did David walk? He walked in integrity
of heart!
David was a man of his words. He walked with God with a perfect and upright heart,
and also fulfilled every vow he made. Integrity is not in your dressing or physical gait, it
is bringing out the glory of God thats in you; that is, in your human spirit. How? It is by
upholding Gods Word; living out the Word in your heart!
Job is another man who walked in integrity of heart toward God. He trusted God and
refused to speak ill in spite of the calamity that befell him. He was the richest man in his
region, but he lost all his wealth and his children in one day. Nevertheless, he said, My
lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. God forbid that I should
justify
you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me (Job 27:4-5).
Some put their trust in horses and some in princes but those that put their trust in the
living God shall never be put to shame. Dont ever put your trust or confidence in man,
rather put your confidence in God. Hes the only one that can build up your life and
move you to another realm, a higher level. Wake up every morning confident of His love
for you and walk with Him in the integrity of heart.
