Opening Verse:
“Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.” – Psalm 25:21 (KJV)
Introduction:
Integrity means staying true to what’s right. At work, this can be hard, especially when we’re pushed to go against what we believe. This devotional talks about keeping our values, like those we learned as kids in church, and using them to make good choices in our jobs.
Devotional Story:
James, who learned about being honest and kind in his childhood church, faced a tough choice in his job. As a boss, he could have taken shortcuts to meet a deadline but decided to stick to what he knew was right. He told his team they would do things the honest way, even if it took longer. His choice showed everyone that doing right matters more than taking the easy way out.
What This Means:
James’ story shows how important it is to do the right thing at work. When we stick to our values, we feel better and set a good example for others. It’s about being honest with ourselves and living by what we truly believe.
Think About This:
Think about how your own beliefs guide your choices at work. Are there times when you could do a better job of following your values? Remember, it’s important to make choices that show who you really are and what you stand for.
Prayer:
Lord, give me the strength to stay true to my beliefs at work. Remind me of the good values I hold and help me make choices that show these beliefs. Guide me to do what’s right for me and those around me. Amen.
Closing Verse:
“Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.” – Proverbs 19:1 (KJV)
