Hebrews 1:9 Amplified Bible (AMP)
9 You have loved
righteousness [You have delighted in integrity, virtue, and uprightness in
purpose, thought, and action] and You have hated lawlessness (injustice and
iniquity). Therefore God, [even] Your God ([e] Godhead), has anointed You with the oil of
exultant joy and gladness above and beyond Your companions.
When people have integrity you will see it
in everything they do. It will be noticeable
in their daily work. They do things diligently
and with enthusiasm. Even when no one is
around the work is done properly and with the best intention. It is probably one of the most difficult things
to teach people who have not been exposed to this kind of discipline and they
feel you picking on them when you enforce certain rules. To my mind being good at what you do is
important and to be excellent at what you do is even better. But you have to be able to work hard without
someone watching you and checking up on your progress. I heard a sermon of Joyce Meyers and it
struck me that even in a store you should take care of how you do things. There is always someone that needs to come
and ‘pick up’ after you. Why? People don’t care. They just say ‘ah, it’s not my job, that’s why
they employ shop attendance’ and you drop clothes on the floor and walk away,
not your problem. Funny you dropped it
why not just pick it up?
I like a beautiful set table, I love it
when the plates match, the knives and forks are set correctly, and all the condiments
are set out on the table with a beautiful clean table cloth. I seem to have this huge fight in getting the
table set the right way. Maybe one day the
penny will drop, in the mean time I pray the Lord to give me wisdom and
understanding.
I need to live with
integrity, virtue and uprightness in purpose, though and most of all
action. Let my intent be true and may I
keep my integrity in everything I do.
God bless you, live your life with
righteousness and integrity, virtue, and uprightness in purpose may God bless
you as you go through your day.
