Now that we are nearing the end of our 40 day journey, how should we live the rest of our lives in a way that puts into action what we have learned from the Word? The first thing we need to achieve is integrity - achieving lives which are integrated into a whole. We should behave and react in the same way throughout our daily and weekly lives.
Who are we when nobody is looking? Are we living joined-up lives where we exhibit the same standards on Monday lunchtime or Friday evening as we do on Sunday morning? We need to integrate our home life, our work life and our church life to ensure we are consistently pulling together all the parts of our life into an integrated whole – not segregated parts.
"What I want most of all and at all times is to honour your laws." Psalm 119:20 [CEV]
King David is saying here that he wants to honour God at all times – not just part of the time. I would love to be able to do the same, wouldn't you?
Heavenly father, I want to honour your laws in all the corners of my life. Help me to be consistent and constant in my behaviour and my actions. Help me to have integrity in my life this week and beyond. Amen.
Memory Verse: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
Psalm 119:105 [TNIV]
