An employee at a state legislature found that representatives answered their constituents' letters in three ways. One merely acknowledged the receipt of the letter. Others always agreed with the letter writer, just to get their vote. The third type wrote, "I understand how you feel ... " and then went on to state their own viewpoint. The latter represented leaders who responded with integrity.
But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. Psalm 41:12 |
Webster defines integrity as "a firm adherence to a code of moral values, soundness, the quality of being undivided." A person who has integrity is trustworthy and dependable. He remains steadfast despite circumstances or what people think.
America needs leaders in this country who govern with integrity. How is it obtained? I Corinthians 15:58 tells you to be "immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."
Pray today that the leaders of the nation will stand firmly and overflow with actions and decisions pleasing to God and characterized by integrity - and strive in your life to do the same, to His glory!
