Stick with it

Our integrity will guide us and help us walk securely. Proverbs 11:3
My son and I are searching the word tonight for some nuggets of truth. That can be hard to come by in 1 Chronicles 6-7 and nothing hit us over the head in 1 Corinthians 6. Not this day, at this time. This will be posted for Thursday morning, and we are sitting at the computer on this Wednesday night…the plot thickens. My son and I are leaving in the morning to be by my dying mother’s side…We are getting close…This could be it…only the Lord knows if it is time for her to go to be with Him. I asked my son to help me with the blog, and we hit a dead end in the journal reading for today. We decided to read the daily bread, and it told us that we need to stick with it. The topic was integrity.
Sometimes in life we feel as though we do not want to do things. I could have skipped doing the blog…If I receive my strength and peace from the Lord, why would I want to avoid seeking him in the word at a time like this. My son and I were able to search through the scriptures until something stood out to us. Now that I am typing this I realized that it ties in 1 Corinthians 6 from todays reading…Stick with me here…no pun intended!
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Corinthians 6:12,13
When we decided to do this blog together, we continued to seek the Lord outside of the “required reading” for today. That is sticking with it…integrity. We did not break a “law” we were led by the Spirit of God.
Lord please help us be people of integrity. We do not want to wear masks in front of you. We come to you at this time and ask You to help us as we face difficulties. We want to depend on You for strength, peace, and comfort. Thank You for giving us the freedom in You to seek wisdom from your word.
