Proverbs 11:3-11
THE RIGHTEOUS AND UPRIGHT
The integrity of the upright shall guide them... Proverbs 11:3, KJV
Integrity is defined as "moral soundness, probity; otherwise known as honesty, wholeness, and completeness; the quality or state of being unimpaired." All these words describe a person who is committed to being above reproach all the time.
Attaining this level is possible by the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. A man of integrity cannot fall into wilful error because he subjects all his decisions to spiritual scrutiny before taking them.
John Maxwell says "integrity is not a given factor in anyone's life; it is a result of self-discipline, inner trust and a decision to be relentlessly honest in all situations." Integrity is very similar to uprightness and it gives the picture of the heart.
If your heart is whole, your attitude, action, feelings and all will be perfect all the time. A righteous man stands to enjoy great benefits such as; (a) guidance (b) deliverance (c) direction from the Lord.
A faith-filled life is a potent field for integrity. Until you have faith in God, you will struggle like mere men. Give room for the Lord to work out His best in you and make you whole and blameless in all your ways.
