The man of integrity stands by what he has said. He doesn’t need contracts or oaths because he does what he says he will do. There was a time when deals were sealed with handshakes. When someone made a promise, you knew they would follow through. If they said they would do something, you knew they would do it. There wasn’t a need for a 30 page contract just to have a car fixed. In the middle of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus deals with our personal integrity. The religious leaders of the day were very fond of oaths. Jesus says there shouldn’t be a need for an oath. When a man of integrity speaks, he does what he says he will do. It is a shame that so many Christians have lost respect in the community because of their lack of integrity. The man of God keeps his work and his promise; anything less is a sin. It is that simple. As you pray for your husband today, ask God to build in him a heart of integrity. Pray that his witness to the world is the integrity of his word. Ask the Lord to give him courage during those times when he is tempted to compromise his word.
