The Man of Integrity

LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? Psalms 15:1 (KJV)
The man of integrity is the man who will find a continual abode in which to rest in the tabernacle of God that is upon His holy hill.

If this is so, then, what kind of man is a man of integrity? The beginning of the answer to this question can be found in Psalm One:

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalms 1:1-3 (KJV)

The man of integrity does not need the affirmation of the ungodly because he is affirmed by his covenant with God Almighty in Christ Jesus. He loves the Word of God and holds it as the absolute rule and guide for life. He will be found searching the scripture and thinking about its precepts day and night.

Because of his love for the Word of God, he will be stable in all his ways and will not be uprooted by the storms of life. He will have the wisdom, knowledge and understanding to navigate through seasons of slow business climates as well as those times of great plenty. As a consequence, he will prosper at all times and will not suffer lack.

The man of integrity is one who recognizes that all he has belongs to God and that he is only a steward of the riches of the kingdom of God. As such, he receives great reward for being a good steward of his Master’s goods. He abides in the Master’s house and is fed at His table. There is no lack to the faithful.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 1 Corinthians 4:2 (KJV)

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. Psalms 34:10 (KJV)
