FROM TODAY’S READING (9/17/2019)...
“The slow person with integrity will ultimately catch the swift one who has none.”
Unknown
Proverbs 11:3 (ESV) The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.
Proverbs 19:1 (ESV) Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NLT) Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.
