The NIV 365-Day Devotional Reading Planตัวอย่าง

Integrity

King Zedekiah’s advisors were furious when Jeremiah told the king to surrender to the Babylonians and abandon their homeland without a fight. Zedekiah promised Jeremiah protection and pledged to keep their conversation secret. And the king stayed true to his word. Jeremiah returned the king’s favor, honoring his request not to speak about their conversation with the other advisors.

A man’s word is vital. It’s important for us to be able to rely on others and trust them to be men of their word. Follow the example of Jeremiah and Zedekiah, who, despite their difficult circumstances, acted with honor and integrity.

REFLECT & PRAY:

*Why are honor and integrity so important to a father’s character?

*When have you been caught compromising your integrity?

*If you’ve been wronged in the past, what can you do to help restore trust with the person who hurt you?
