“The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.”
"Tell the truth the first time and then you won't have to remember what you said." That's a quote attributed to the famous Speaker of the House (U.S.A. House of Representatives) Sam Rayburn. That's basically what God's wisdom is trying to teach us in this passage. Be a person of integrity. Then, when someone finds out your secrets, you can feel secure knowing that you have lived for godliness. However, a perverse and deceitful person has to constantly worry that someone will find him out.
There is no security or assurance in crooked paths, only the certainty of getting tripped up and caught. When the secrets of evil that have been whispered in dark places get shouted from the rooftops, those who have lived for the Lord can be secure, knowing that what gets shouted about them is said with the voice of God: "Well done, good and faithful servant!"
PRAYER
God does not depend on solely on a few stanch saints. He has planned for ordinary Christians like you and me to become mighty in prayer for the blessing and salvation of people and reaping of Christ's harvest among the nations today.
There is no reason in the world why you cannot become so steadfast in your personal prayer life that Christ will count on you to help build His Church and advance His kingdom in many parts of the world.
Beginning with your family, your Church, and your community, you can play a significant part through normal daily prayer that will make a difference, even in distant lands.
When He calls on someone for this role, He usually selects one who has been praying faithfully and consistently.
Quotes
. I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible. - Teresa of Avila
. I choose joy. I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical, the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God. - Max Lucado
