WHAT ARE YOUR VALUES? (1)

“The integrity of the upright guides them.”   Pr 11:3 NIV
 
Here are some values based on Scripture: (1) God’s sovereignty.  “You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed” (Ps 139:16 NLT).  You can rest in knowing God has the last word on everything that concerns you (See Ps 138:8).  When all is said and done, you have an ordered destiny.  When you know that, you don’t have to try and manipulate people and circumstances to your advantage.  You simply have to walk through the doors God opens and be at peace with the doors He closes, knowing He always has your best interests at heart.  (2) Integrity.  “The integrity of the upright guides them.”  As you walk in integrity, you will experience God’s peace because you know you have done the right thing in His sight.  Integrity is not only being honest or telling the truth, but also ensuring what you say is the truth.  In other words, you make your word your bond.  Psalm 15:4 says they “keep their promises even when it hurts” (NLT) (3) Humility.  “Humility precedes honor” (Pr 15:33 NLT).  Humility is not a sense of worthlessness, but instead an acceptance of your God-given strengths and God-allowed limitations.  Your strengths should not make you arrogant, and your limitations should not make you apprehensive, for God has promised, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (2Co 12:9 NKJV).
