Psalms 26 and 27 - Integrity Through Seeking God

1 ...Judge me favorably, O Lord,
because I have walked with integrity
and I have trusted you without wavering.
2 Examine me, O Lord, and test me.
Look closely into my heart and mind.
3 I see your mercy in front of me.
I walk in the light of your truth.
4 I did not sit with liars,
and I will not be found among hypocrites.
Psalms 26:1-4 (GW)

4 I have asked one thing from the Lord.
This I will seek:
to remain in the Lord's house all the days of my life
in order to gaze at the Lord's beauty
and to search for an answer in his temple.
Psalms 27:4 (GW)

10 Even if my father and mother abandon me,
the Lord will take care of me.
Psalms 27:10 (GW)

Reflection of B:

Integrity is a very important value which I treasured and adhered to since young. Without which there will be no trust and no relationship can be formed. People who have no integrity put me off. I detest those who break their promises without good cause. Dishonesty in transaction also put me off.

Being sinful in nature, we can only be men/women of integrity by seeking God so that His truth will always keep us in check. Yes, even our natural parents may abandon us but God will take care of us. That's my true experience.


Dear Lord,
Thank You for teaching me to be woman of integrity. Thank You for teaching me to show mercy and grace. Thank You for transforming me day by day as I seek Your face each day. Thank You for staying with me, even when my loved ones deserted me.
Praise You, Lord!
