Integrity – “Integrity is being the same person in public as in private.”

Scripture:  Nehemiah 6:10-14

Nehemiah faced the problems in his community head on.  In John 14:23 Jesus says, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word and my father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” Nehemiah knew how to keep his word.  In Psalm 101 David greatly desires this relationship with God, he’s cleaning house. Declaring his intention to live with integrity in his home and community, he sets the mark for his own behavior – nothing but steadfast love and justice. He draws a line in the sand regarding those he hangs out with, his employees and those he will do business with.  Is there room for steadfast love and justice in my life? Can I weigh all my relationships in light of God’s desires and when they don’t measure up and can I clean house with the confidence of David?  May we live lives of integrity today.

Watch Week 4 of Relaunch:  “Striving  For Unity” Here:

The more you love others, the more you leave your pride.  There is no place for pride when working on a high performance team.  The people are pulling together to rebuild the wall amidst the opposition, and they are learning how to be absolutely unified.  In order to strive for unity we must rely on the power of God, remain alert, and rally to the needs of others.
