Faithful In All Things - The One Year Devotions for Women on the Go

And the Lord replied, “I’m talking to any faithful, sensible servant to whom the master gives the responsibility of managing his household and feeding his family.” Luke 12:42

The number one trait that workers say they desire in a boss or leader is integrity. Integrity will help you build a team, it may help you secure financing for the dream, and it will be the honey that draws people to you and the plan to make a difference. When you step out to make a difference, what builds your integrity with others?

Integrity Is Built By

Consistent work ethic: A proven track record is vital. Matthew 25:23 says, “You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things” (NIV). Do the small things well—no matter how mundane. If you have been assigned small things, do them with excellence, and more and greater things will be given to your charge.

Consistent behavior: When I have spoken with the children of highly visible Christian leaders, I always ask, “What did your parents do right?” The number one answer is, “My parents had integrity. They were the same at home as in the pulpit.” Be dependable; have self-restraint, self-control, and self-respect! Before you make a decision, ask, “Does this build my reputation or tear it down?”
