“The integrity of the upright will guide them.” Pr 11:3 NKJV After leading the Nation of Israel for forty years, the prophet Samuel didn’t get a retirement party and a gold watch. He got something much better in the form of this commendation: “You have not cheated or oppressed us” (1Sa 12:4 NIV). He led them, instructed them, and blessed them, but not one time did he take advantage of them. How refreshing! How remarkable—particularly in today’s world of business and politics. Pursuing a life of integrity comes with a price. But what we get in exchange is the ability to hold our head high during the day and sleep well at night. And perhaps just as important—it allows us to relax and be ourselves. The mental toll of cheating, lying, and stealing is draining. Trying to remember the lie you told someone last week, so that today’s lie will match up, can literally wear you out. When you live a life of integrity, you don’t have to worry about such things! #LifeOfIntegrity #TakingTerritory (at Chinhoyi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBe1rLljM1Q/?igshid=1kiy98c1zqx2t
