Proverbs 11

Proverbs 11:3
The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity

I was reminded again by this verse this morning that integrity is all about being the same person wherever I am at. Whether at work or at home, with friends, family or strangers, God wants us to be who He made us to be. I don't have to try to be like anyone else. God simply wants us to be "straight up" who He created us to be. No more and no less.

How easy it is have duplicity in our lives. It is so tempting to be one way at church and another way at home or at work.

God help me (us) to be genuine, not double-minded; not boastful, but humble; not exaggerators but diligently truthful.

Did God give you a reminder from Proverbs today? If so, encourage everyone else by sharing it here.
