Whoever walks in integrity walks securely.
—Proverbs 10:9
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you grade your integrity on these four character traits?
Truthful
Trustworthy
Honorable
Reliable
How would others grade you?
Bottom line, self-assessment is your only option: “Examine yourselves . . . test yourselves” (2 Cor 13:5). No one else can know for sure, for you can hide the truth from them. You can even—to a point—hide it from yourself, by rationalizing your conduct. But deep down, you know.
A read-through of Proverbs will give insight into your integrity level on these four behaviors, and more. But you’re the only one who can decide if you’re willing to make the examination.
You can’t correct a weakness
you’re unwilling to face.
