Joel Osteen Daily Devotional June 2 2022 – Integrity Tests

Proverbs 10:9, NIV

Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.

Integrity is the foundation that a successful life is built on. You can have talent, determination, and vision, but without integrity you won’t reach your full potential. Too often we’re letting small compromises of our integrity keep us from the big things God has in store. A person of integrity does the right thing and gives his best whether or not anyone else is watching. You don’t call in sick and then go shopping for the day. You don’t come in late and leave early because others do it. You don’t buy things you can’t pay for. You don’t fudge on your taxes.

We can’t deceive people, tell half-truths, not keep our word, and expect God to bless us. Take it as a challenge that God is watching to see when He can promote you. He’s waiting for you to pass these tests of integrity so He can take you higher. Have integrity in your finances, in your relationships, in how you treat people, in what you watch, and you’ll walk securely into your destiny.

Father, thank You for challenging me to make sure that integrity is the foundation of my life. Show me if there is anything I’m doing that is keeping me from being my best. I want to walk securely before You, and I believe that You have the power to bring me up higher. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
