OCT. 7– Integrity Guides

Proverbs 11:3  The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.

Explanation: Integrity is a compass that points true north when choices confuse. The upright are guided by wholeness of heart—being the same in private and public. Duplicity cannot endure; it collapses under its own deceit. Integrity may be costly, but it brings peace and honor to God.

Integrity brings direction in confusion.
Duplicity destroys from within.
Consistency adorns the gospel.

Poem — “Guided by Integrity”
Choices clear when the heart is whole.
Peace reigns when duplicity dies.
Guidance comes to those who are upright.
Integrity builds trust that endures.
The path is safe under God’s eye.

Integrity frees from the fear of exposure.
Integrity keeps the conscience clean.
Integrity strengthens weak character.
Integrity honors the Lord’s name.
Integrity leaves a lasting legacy.

Duplicity hides in compromise.
Duplicity cracks under truth’s weight.
Duplicity cannot survive before God.
Duplicity breeds ruin and despair.
Duplicity leads only to destruction.

Prayer: Lord, make me upright before You. Remove duplicity and hypocrisy from my life. Let integrity guide my steps.
Father, may my character remain consistent in secret and public. Let my integrity bring honor to Christ’s name. Amen.
