“Happy are people of integrity, who follow the law of the Lord.”
Psalm 119:1 (NLT)

APRIL 3 - As believers, our purpose in life is to seek and satisfy our Lord and Savior. Our lives must hinge on that one pursuit – to please God. Within our purpose, God places upon each individual an assignment
that He calls us to fulfill. Yet far too many believers zealously seek to fulfill their assignment while leaving behind a trail of wounded people and broken hearts.

Due to the vast amount of time, labor, and patience it took for the cultivation of the olive, the integrity of the Israelite soldier (even in something as seemingly replaceable as a tree) was indeed very crucial to the nation, as well as to God. Because of their love for country and God, even in time of war, soldiers were trusted not to damage an olive grove. The deliberate destruction of one individual tree was strictly forbidden.

We, too, are called to walk in love and live with integrity. God is not pleased with the man who did what was instructed but lacked integrity. God does not separate our character from our purpose. We cannot cheerfully fulfill one while harshly neglecting the other. Always be diligent and serious about living a life of integrity, a life in which you keep your word and do what you know to be right. The moment our integrity lines up with our purpose, no devil can stop us from changing lives.

The abundant life full of joy and satisfaction only belongs to those who choose to apply integrity with their purposed life. Today we must make the choice to do the same.

“He who walks with integrity walks securely,
but he who perverts his ways will become known.”
Proverbs 10:9 (NKJV)

MARCH 21 - A number of years ago, my father, Peter Daniels, and I traveled to California to meet with Dr. Robert Schuller. Dr. Schuller proceeded to tell us how the “Golden State” was experiencing an influx of new
homebuyers. He also mentioned that when most of the people buy homes, they place great emphasis on the state’s beautiful scenery and gorgeous weather, forgetting to think about the ground upon which the house rests. (If you are not aware, most of California sits on the dreaded San Andreas Fault.)

These people failed to realize how important the foundation is to the very future of the home they so greatly desired. In the same way, character is the only sure foundation to any successful business, healthy marriage, or fulfilling life.

It is your daily decisions, constructive thoughts, and encouraging associations that firmly shape your character. Neglect a stable foundation, and whatever you build in life will soon come tumbling down as if destroyed by an earthquake. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment. Why not stand upon God’s Word in all that you do?

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I walk in integrity therefore I walk securely. I refuse to pervert my way, for he who perverts his way becomes known.

“He who walks with integrity walks securely,
but he who perverts his ways will become known.”
Proverbs 10:9 (NKJV)

January 10 - If you had the opportunity, would you desire to know the outcome of your life? It’s easy—just closely examine your character, scrutinizing it, as a farmer would search his fields for weeds. It is impossible to
separate yourself from your character. Character is who a person is. The great thing is—character can be developed. You are not born a good person; in fact, you are programmed to fail the moment you are born. The Bible says we are all born slaves to sin. But God sent His Son to die and live again so we can walk as He walked. Jesus’ destiny was predicted long ago by His unwillingness to compromise. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He refused to negotiate His integrity for momentary pleasure.

Your character is a prophecy of your destiny, just as the status of a farmer’s field is a prophecy of the goods he will sell. Choose to break your integrity, and you will alter your destiny for that which is bad. Choose to live according to divine principles, and you will alter your destiny for that which is good. It is your choice!

Through God’s Word, you can cultivate the character of Christ. Heaven and Hell are literal destinies of a chosen path. Walk according to God’s Word and Heaven will be your final destination. Choose to live according to the desires of your flesh, and Hell cruelly awaits you. Today, cross-examine yourself with the precepts of God’s Word. Ask God to help you live like Christ and pay whatever price you must to ensure you never lower your standard of living.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I choose to walk in integrity and therefore I walk securely; I choose not to pervert my ways and become known.

Excellence In Character -Book

A house built on a faulty foundation soon becomes unfit to live in. Shifting soil causes cracks in the foundation. Gradually those cracks travel upward to the walls and ceilings of the house, causing more and more structural damage — not to mention more headaches to those who live inside. Think of the loss and trouble the homeowners could have avoided if they had only tested the foundation before they moved in!

In the same way, we will save ourselves a lifetime of grief if we will just take the time to test the foundation of our lives — our character — and deal with any cracks or flaws that could later lead to disaster. As author Robb Thompson stresses, “Without a strong, solid foundation of God’s principles undergirding our lives, everything else we attempt to build or accomplish will eventually crumble and fall. In fact, any breakdown in life can almost always be traced back to a breakdown in character.”

Let Dr. Thompson help you explore what God has to say about pursuing excellent character. Then start building a rock-solid, Godly character that will lead you to God’s highest for your life!
