How Is Your Walk?

Judge me, O Lord for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord, therefore I shall not slide.

Psalm 26:1





When he was 24 years old, Abraham Lincoln served as the postmaster of New Salem, Illinois, for which he was paid an annual salary of $55.70.  Even then, 24 years before he entered the White House, the rail-splitter was showing the character that earned him the title of “Honest Abe.” 

"The New Salem post office was closed in 1836, but it was several years before an agent arrived from Washington to settle accounts with ex-postmaster Lincoln, who was a struggling lawyer not doing too well.  The agent informed him that there was $17 due to the government.  Lincoln crossed the room, opened an old trunk and took out a yellowed cotton rag bound with string.  Untying it, he spread out the cloth and there was the $17.  He had been holding it untouched for all the years."  “I never use any man’s money but my own,” he said.

Webster defines integrity: moral soundness; incorruptness; uprightness; honesty.  I am afraid that there has come a great disconnect in the fiber of our nation when it comes to walking in integrity.  Too many times integrity seems to merely be an attribute that gets in the way of ambition.  We are willing to do anything in everyday dealings so we can get our way or increase the profit.  Integrity has been left out in the cold and many have suffered the consequences because of such a choice. Our country has suffered dearly because of the choices and decisions of many to walk in the opposite direction of integrity.

Dear believer, how is your walk with the Lord?  Has your not walking in integrity brought distance between you and God?  Don’t go with the flow.  Travel against the current of the world and walk in integrity.  God will be glorified and your legacy, one day, will bless and speak loudly to those who have known you.
