Proverbs 10

Integrity is the word Solomon uses to describe the life of a God fearing person. When our hearts display the light of integrity our life will not be knocked off course. Does that mean we won't be attacked? Does it mean the evil people around us will not insult, threaten, or abuse us? Does a life of integrity grant us immunity to the foul events of this life? I would say "no" to each of those questions. Then how can Solomon say a life based on integrity will bring security? I believe it is the security in knowing that we are loved by God. When we realize that we can join with Jesus in looking beyond our cross; scorning whatever shame may come our way, and take up the never-fading joy of Christ as we cling to the Spirit's delivered integrity. I've don't know if I've seen that in my life, but I've seen it in the Biblical record and the history of the church. I've also met a few people who are living that secure life in Christ now.
It took me about 4 minutes to read this passage.
