Have you ever had someone question your honesty or integrity?  It can be frustrating and even hurtful.  You know you’re telling the truth, but you are put in a position where you have to somehow prove that you’re telling the truth.  God, of course, wants us to be people of honesty and integrity.  He wants us to be people of our word who can be trusted to always tell the truth. 

 

Paul gives us a good example of that sort of Godly integrity in his letter to the Galatians.  In our passage today, Paul continues to defend his ministry and his message.  He outlines his travels and seeks to underline the truthfulness of his words.  But it’s not just the basic details of Paul’s travels which we find here; we see an example of the kind of people God wants us to be, people of integrity.  

 

There are 3 key components to pursuing integrity in our lives which are revealed by Paul’s words here – 1) Let God Lead You; 2) Tell the Truth; and 3) Give God the Glory for His Transforming Grace. 

 

Honor the Lord by living a life of integrity.
