There's
an interesting biographical book and movie called "Catch Me if You Can"
about a man who was skilled in creating identities that allowed him to remain a
fugitive. To him it was an art as much as it was an escape from justice. God
equips us with gifts and talents, but we have the responsibility of choosing whether
to use our God-given intelligence and skills for good or for evil.
Our integrity is measured by how we
choose to use what God assigns us. Integrity is designed to be a guide for making
godly choices. Integrity will serve as a guard against reacting detrimentally
to oneself or others. In the Bible, Job is projected as a man of integrity, for
in his darkest days he refused to abandon what he knew was right for him.
Being
deceptive can harm or even destroy our integrity. Choose to change by believing
God's purpose and plan replicates what is good and right for you. Trust God to
give you wisdom to act on what will support the highest level of integrity. Jesus
said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life."
