Pause & Reflect
Paul tells believers to work sincerely rather than merely performing when people are watching. That principle reaches far beyond employment. Integrity is who you are when the audience disappears. When nobody will know whether you exaggerated. Whether you cut the corner. Whether you kept your word. Whether you viewed the content. Whether you returned the money. Whether you prayed. Whether you were faithful. Character is built in hidden decisions. We can become so concerned with reputation—what people think we are—that we neglect character—what God knows we are. The goal is not perfection. It is increasing agreement between our private and public lives. Live before God.
