Check your Pump.......

Bible Verse: Proverbs 20:7 "The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him."

Good morning friends. I pray everyone is well today. Can I ask you a question? What is integrity to you? What does it mean to you? Do you have it? Are you sure? Integrity is doing what is right even when no one is around. Are you fair? Are you just? Do you teach integrity to your children? Or, do you teach them as most of the world. Do what you have to, to get ahead. Let's be real again with each other today. Let's search our hearts and dig into some of the good stuff.

Bible Verse: Proverbs 20:7 "The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him."

This world says if we could just arrange conditions where we never have any sorrow, pain, or hurts, then we could change ourselves. If we can change conditions, we can change character. If we have an easy life then we will be better off. This is what the world teaches. But the Bible teaches just the opposite. The world puts the focus on condition. God puts the focus on character. I read once that you can't purify the water by painting the pump. And yet that's what we try to do. We think that if we can change the exterior or make conditions so that we never have any hurts, pains, or losses then we're going to be okay. But Jesus put the focus upon our character. On what and who you are, not what you have or don't have.

Do you have a mentor? Someone that you look up to? Is there someone in your life you admire? Someone who is a person of integrity? Thank God today for the good work done by God in that person's life and give him or her a word of encouragement. A word of encouragement goes a long way sometimes. Let's examine ourselves today and look at our character. Are we who we should be? Do we have integrity or a lack of? Is your pump painted? Remember, someone is always watching. Have a great day, I love you and God bless.
