Proverbs 19:1 “ Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity , then he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.”
What is the real difference between integrity and perverseness? Integrity, as in buildings, means complete our entire , but in humans it means moral soundness, To be perverse is to be stubborn or willfully erring. One who is perverse knows he is wrong but refuses to accept any other alternative. To show integrity is to look at all other facts or possibilities, weigh them against a perfect standard – Jesus –and choose to accept His way.
We have been looking at the qualities of Wisdom in Proverbs over and over ; I came across a Zig Zeigler quote on wisdom I would like to share for your consideration : “ There are six foundation stones to wisdom : honesty , character , integrity , faith , love, and loyalty .” Focus on these six today and see what the Lord shares with you .
Lord , we love you today and we choose to follow the path Jesus made out for us . Help us to maintain the six foundations of Christian living. Help us to strive for the target of wisdom and become Your disciples. For your service we live. Amen
