He who does these things shall never be moved. Psalm 15:5
Recently the city of Hong Kong was blanketed with posters showing a single drop of water
splashing into a pool. Each poster bore the words "Hong Kong Against
Corruption." The message was clearintegrity or dishonesty permeates a city one
person at a time.
It's easy to compromise in little things because they seem to make no difference in
society at large. We think, "Why shouldn't I alter the truth, pad my expense reports,
or use my employer's time for personal projects when everyone else is doing it? I'm just
one drop in the bucket!" Exactly. And every drop helps determine the contents.
Psalm 15:1 asks, "Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?" The answer in verses
2 through 5 describes a person of honor who enjoys intimate fellowship with God. Notice
how the person of principle walks, works, and speaksuprightly, righteously,
truthfully (v.2). Observe that the individual of integrity refuses to backbite or take
bribes (vv.3,5). Consider the stability of such a person: "He who does these things
shall never be moved" (v.5).
What would it mean to our families, our neighborhoods, our cities if you and I lived with
integrity according to God's guidelines? Let's do it! Every drop counts.
-DCM
When we live with integrity,
We please our God above
And influence society
With truthfulness and love.
-Sper
Integrity is Christlike character in workclothes.
