Integrity

image-2

Walking in integrity, what does that mean? According to the dictionary, it means adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty. The problem in this world, as you seek to walk according to this scripture, is people do not desire honesty. They do not want to walk in adherence to a moral or ethical principle. They interpret scripture according to their understanding and not the discernment of the Holy Spirit. Most are just attending church without any manifestation in their lives of the grace which is granted in their lives.

This scripture points out that one who walks in that integrity, his children are then blessed by the very fact that he or she desires to walk according to moral or even ethical principle- but are they? Too often the standard children have are what they see in the world, not what is set by the Word. They want parents who turn a blinds eye to sin, who do not challenge them, or guide them or discipline them. They want a "friend" and not a parent. But what children do not see, or even realize is, that parents are accountable before a Holy Righteous Loving God, who is also Judge, for everything they did or did not do to bring you up according to the Will and Glory of God.

Let us seek to live out this word in our lives. By walking according to the heart of God, glorify Christ in all we do.

Thank you for walking with me on this journey.

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Goodbye Facebook...Hello thoughts...

Well I did... I took the plunge and deactivated my facebook. It is amazing how much of a time consumer it is. It eats time like you would not believe. I am hoping, praying with this new found time, and lack of distraction that it will give me motivation to blog more. As my young men get older, move closer and closer in considering that step towards becoming one with someone.. I have come to realize there are so many resources out there pointed at men and what they need to do, or what they need to be as men to get married. The sad thing is there is hardly anything for young women. Today I challenge Paul to look at a questionaire done by Stacey and James McDonald( you can find it on Staceys  blog thesacredcalling.com)  that they put together for young suitors for their daughters. After reading it he came down so heavy hearted. Guess the realization of the spiritual, emotional and physical responsibilities of it all became very burdensome. Of course I shared how we could do noth...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
