As I was doing my quiet time this morning I ran across the phrase in a book…
"Integrity and character are born in the mundane places where only God sees."
I literally just sat and stared at the phrase for a minute.
We think that integrity and character are born when no one is looking…
But think of it this way…they are born in the places where only God sees…
That switches it up a little bit and opens your eyes a little more.
In the mundane tasks of life.
In the unnoticed and unrecognized things you do on a daily basis.
That's where integrity and character are born.
But on the flip side.
Integrity and character are also destroyed in the places only God sees…
Ouch…
Ecclesiastes 12:14 says "For God will bring every deed into judgement, with every secret thing, whether good or evil."
And Luke 8:17 says, "For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor anything secret that will not be know and come to light."
Integrity is huge. Character is huge.
Do something today that maybe no one else wants to do or maybe they just don't think about doing it.
It could be anything.
But here's the catch…don't let anyone know it was you!
It's in those mundane, sometimes unrecognized places, where integrity and character are born!
