When You Walk In Integrity….

Can you imagine an invisible creature ahead of you guarding the road you’re on? All the times you were kept safe? All the times you were stopped in order to prevent harm from coming to you? Just think of all the times you drive and each car that passes you on the opposite side is prevented from crossing the line and causing an accident. Think of all the times something happened that was a “close call”, but didn’t harm you. How about when you refrain from saying something in retaliation? Or when you didn’t go with friends who planned on doing something stupid? I could go on with more examples, but I think you understand my point. When you walk in integrity, God protects us. It’s like guard rails on a winding and treacherous road. They bring you a sense of security, unlike roads without them. When you act and live according to His principles, they protect you from being deceived or misled. And even though people may make fun of you, or even abandon you at times, deep down inside they respect you because of your consistency in the way you live your life. And those very same people, if they are your friend, will come to you for help when adversity strikes them. Walking in godliness protects your path. It may not make your life free from adversity, but it certainly will protect you from being conquered by evil. Does it take more effort? Yes. Is it more spiritually and emotionally satisfying? Most definitely. The unseen world of the godly is more involved than you could ever think.

6 Godliness guards the path of the blameless, but the evil are misled by sin. Proverbs 13:6
