Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!
S-cripture:
Proverbs 10:9
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
O-bservation:
Solomon the wise man said that if you will walk with INTEGRITY (complete honesty), you will walk in TOTAL SECURITY. If, however, a person chooses a crooked lifestyle, that person will ALWAYS be found out.
A-pplication:
I’ve known a number of men and women in my life who walked with INTEGRITY. So much so that I wanted to be just like them. Not the least of these was my own father. There’s no way in the world that I have ever been as honest and loving as my dear father was, and he certainly was my personal mark for how I wanted to live. Whenever I messed up I would think, and even think now, “Dad would have never done that.” I’ve always thanked the Lord for such a role model. Whenever I think of my late Dad now I always think to myself, “Here’s How To Be TOTALLY SECURE.” He never had to retrace his steps because he walked a straight line, not a crooked one. Both you and I can decide today to be TOTALLY SECURE, but it will mean choosing to walk a straight line for Jesus.
P-rayer:
Dear Jesus,
It’s still my desire to walk a straight path for others to follow. Not one that leaves others feeling condemned, but one that leaves people with a true mark to follow. Amen
