Scripture-
Ps. 25:21 May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in You.
Observation-
As believers, we place our hope in the Lord - the hope which is faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and through His blood and resurrection that we are saved. Because of this hope in which we take refuge, we are called to live lives of integrity and uprightness and in living lives in this manner we will be under God's protection. Even in this world, if we live lives of integrity and uprightness then we should be innocent of any wrongdoing, but most importantly if we live lives of integrity and uprightness in God's eyes, then we bring Him glory and are pleasing to Him and thus are certainly under His protection since He is our Father and we are his children.
Application-
My great hope is in the Lord and I know, as a believer and follower of Christ, that surely He is with me to the very end of the age just as He promised to the disciples in Matthew 28:20. I desire to please him and be under His protection by living a life of integrity and uprightness - not listening to what the world tells me is right but living according to God's Holy Word and being led by His Holy Spirit.
Prayer-
Father God, thank You for Your protection and for being my refuge and great reward. My hope is fully in You and all I am is Yours - please use me to do what Your will is. Help me to live a life of integrity and uprightness and in this way be a witness for others to see. I love and praise You Father and please lead me Lord through Your Holy Spirit in doing the things that will glorify Your name. Amen
