Integrity
There was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully. 2 Ki. 22:7
Integrity (or simple honesty) is rapidly becoming a lost virtue these days. Who would think of hiring workmen to do repairs and paying for the project in advance with no further accounting from the workmen? Yet that’s what happened when King Josiah ordered repairs on the temple. The carpenters, builders and masons were of such integrity that no reckoning was required. In a day when dishonesty seems the norm even in religious circles, God’s people have the unique opportunity to shine brightly as people of their word--particularly in dealing with money. --Wm. Gustafson
There are hearts which never falter in the battle for the right;
There are ranks which never alter, watching through the darkest night.
