“The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.” Proverbs 10:9
Have you ever been caught red handed? It’s a horrible feeling isn’t it? You’re heart rate spikes, time stops and guilt rushes over you. Sometimes we feel as if no one in the world will ever know about the things we do in private or behind closed doors. Think for a moment about things you do daily, weekly and monthly that you hope no one will ever find out about. The verse above can be a hard one to digest. It says that we can hide nothing from God. He knows everything that we have ever done. Psalm 147:5 says, “great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.” We find out from the Bible that God knows us inside and out. The remarkable part is that God still loves us more that we could ever imagine despite our brokenness.
In Romans 5:8 it says “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” God’s love for us shown through Jesus on the cross should compel us to live a life full of integrity. Trust that God will strengthen us as we live courageously this week.
-Matt
