The LORD Almighty says, "When your ancestors made me angry, I planned disaster for them and did not change my mind, but carried out my plans. But now I am planning to bless the people of Jerusalem and Judah. So don’t be afraid. These are the things you should do: Speak the truth to one another. In the courts give real justice – the kind that brings peace, Do not plan ways of harming one another. Do not give false testimony under oath. I hate lying, injustice, and violence."

Zechariah 8:14-17

Honesty must be woven into the fabric of our character if we are to have an effective testimony for Christ. The secular world also recognizes the importance of integrity. Don’t lie. Do the right thing. Listen to the voice inside that is the Spirit. Feel the tingly feelings in your stomach and listen to them.

A person of integrity has nothing to hide.
