I start wishing all
readers Happy New Month! We bless GOD for his faithfulness thus far in our
lives. It is a good thing to see another month in this year. Romans 8 vs. 28: And we know all things
work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called
according to His purpose. All lovers of GOD love righteousness and
uprightness; things work together for their good; because GOD is good. No
wonder the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 34
vs. 8: O taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man that trusts in
Him. GOD worth serving, GOD worth seeking, GOD worth trusting! Lovers of
GOD have the lines falling to them in pleasant places; they have goodly
heritage, because GOD is their portion. Psalm
16 vs. 6: The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yea I have a goodly
heritage. Lovers of GOD never beg for bread and are never left to their own
or forsaken. Psalm 37 vs. 15: I have
been young and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his
seed begging bread. Lovers of GOD seek GOD and do not want anything good. Psalm 34 vs. 10: The young lions do lack
and suffer hunger; but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
Lovers of GOD are daily loaded with benefits. Psalm 68 vs. 19: Blessed be the LORD, who daily loads us with benefits;
even the GOD of our salvation. Lovers of GOD fear GOD and they are filled
with GOD’s goodness. Psalm 31 vs. 19: Oh
how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for them that fear you,
which you have wrought for them that trust in you before the sons of men! Lovers
of GOD find it easy to walk uprightly in GOD’s sight. Psalm 84 vs. 11: For the lord GOD is a sun and shield; the LORD will
give grace and glory, no good thing will he withhold from them that walk
uprightly. Proverbs 28 vs. 10b : but the upright shall have good things
in possession.
RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...
