What are you?
Tell it
Psalm 26:1
“Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity.
I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip.”
(NKJV)
Think carefully about this timely principle for just a moment: “Character is the sail that governs the direction of your life’s course.” Keeping that in mind, consider if you will the great English revivalist, George Whitefield. So fiery and convicting were his sermons that both the American and English clergy refused to allow him inside their pulpits. Did Whitefield withdraw his sail, become embittered at his brothers, slander them and decide to resign? No, and because he demonstrated good character, God gave George Whitefield a better idea—preach outdoors! And it was all in God’s plan since by utilizing vast, open fields, multitudes of various sects and denominations could freely attend his meetings, many of whom otherwise would have never entered any house of worship whatsoever.
Regardless of the winds of adversity and compromise, if your sail is aimed in the direction of God’s Word you will always remain in line with His will.
By embracing the standards outlined in the Word of God, your sail will never drift; no, it is firmly set to override any adverse current that floats along. And by doing as Daniel and revivalist Whitefield, being solidly resolute causes you to purpose in your heart never to deviate from God’s path. Do you truly believe character is important? If so, make the choice today to set your sail with God’s Word. Embrace His principles and set your course towards Heaven.
DAILY CONFESSION
Father, I thank You that You vindicate me, for I walk in integrity. I trust in You and I shall not stumble or fall in Jesus name, Amen
