LIVING LIFE TO THE FULL A GIFT TO BE CELEBRATED!

THE NEED FOR INTEGRITY

“Chosen men out of all Israel” 1 Samuel 24:2, KJV

1 Samuel 24:4, NKJV Then the men of David said to him, ‘This is the day of which the Lord said to you,...

1 Samuel 24:4, NKJV ...Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand that you may do to him as it seems good to you.’

And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. 1 Samuel 24:4, NKJV And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul’s robe.

1 Samuel 24:5-7, NKJV Now it happened afterward that David’s heart troubled him because he had cut Saul’s robe. And he said to his men,...

1 Samuel 24:5-7, NKJV ‘The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lord’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him,...

1 Samuel 24:5-7, NKJV ...seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.’ So David restrained his servants with these words,...

1 Samuel 24:5-7, NKJV ...and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul got up from the cave and went on his way.

1 Samuel 24:10-12, NKJV Look, this day your eyes have seen that the Lord delivered you today into my hand in the cave,...

1 Samuel 24:10-12, NKJV ...and someone urged me to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said...

1 Samuel 24:10-12, NKJV ...‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord’s anointed.’ Moreover, my father, see!

1 Samuel 24:10-12, NKJV Yes, see the corner of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the corner of your robe,...

1 Samuel 24:10-12, NKJV ...and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor rebellion in my hand,...

...and I have not sinned against you. Yet you hunt my life to take it. 1 Samuel 24:10-12, NKJV ...and I have not sinned against you. Yet you hunt my life to take it.

1 Samuel 24:10-12, NKJV Let the Lord judge between you and me, and let the Lord avenge me on you. But my hand shall not be against you.

1 Samuel 24:17, NKJV You are more righteous than I; for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded you with evil.

1 Samuel 24:17, NKJV And you have shown this day how you have dealt well with me; for when the Lord delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me’

1 Samuel 26:7, NKJV And there Saul lay sleeping within the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head.

And Abner and the people lay all around him. 1 Samuel 26:7, NKJV And Abner and the people lay all around him.

1 Samuel 26:8, NKJV Then Abishai said to David, ‘God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please,...

1 Samuel 26:8, NKJV ...let me strike him at once with the spear, right to the earth; and I will not have to strike him a second time!’

1 Samuel 26:9, NKJV ‘Do not destroy him; for who can stretch out his hand against the Lord’s anointed, and be guiltless?’

I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will harm you no more,... 1 Samuel 26:21, NKJV I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will harm you no more,...

1 Samuel 26:21, NKJV ...because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Indeed I have played the fool and erred exceedingly.

1 Samuel 27:1, NKJV Now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me....

1 Samuel 27:1, NKJV ...than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me,...

1 Samuel 27:1, NKJV ...to seek me anymore in any part of Israel. So I shall escape out of his hand’.

Matthew 5:44-48, NKJV ‘But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you,...

Matthew 5:44-48, NKJV ...and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven;...

Matthew 5:44-48, NKJV ...for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Matthew 5:44-48, NKJV For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Matthew 5:44-48, NKJV And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?

Matthew 5:44-48, NKJV Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Integrity? It is harmony in the life between theory and practice. It’s the transparency and trustworthiness that should characterize our every action.

Integrity is Kind of the polar opposite of hypocrisy

“Leadership 101: Integrity by Example” “A mother once brought her child to him, asking him to tell the young boy not to eat sugar...”

“Leadership 101: Integrity by Example” “...because it was not good for his diet or his developing teeth. Gandhi replied, ‘I cannot tell him that. But you may bring him back in a month.’...”

“Leadership 101: Integrity by Example” “The mother was angry as Gandhi moved on, brushing her aside. She had traveled some distance and had expected the mighty leader to support her parenting.”

“Leadership 101: Integrity by Example” “She had little recourse, so she left for her home. One month later she returned, not knowing what to expect.”

“Leadership 101: Integrity by Example” “The great Gandhi took the small child’s hands into his own, knelt down before him, and tenderly communicated, ‘Do not eat sugar, my child.”

“Leadership 101: Integrity by Example” “It is not good for you.’ Then he embraced him and returned the boy to his mother.”

“Leadership 101: Integrity by Example” “The mother, grateful but perplexed, queried, ‘Why didn’t you say that a month ago?’ ‘Well,’ said Gandhi, ‘a month ago I was still eating sugar.’”

Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 458. E. G. White “...and more time were spent in personal ministry, greater results would be seen...”

Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 458. E. G. White “The poor are to be relieved, the sick cared for, the sorrowing and bereaved comforted, the ignorant instructed, the inexperienced counseled.”

Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 458. E. G. White “We are to weep with those that weep, and rejoice with those that rejoice.”

Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 458. E. G. White “Accompanied by the power of persuasion, the power of prayer, the power of the love of God, this work will not, cannot, be without fruit.”

Acts 17:24-26, NKJV God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

Acts 17:24-26, NKJV Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.

Acts 17:24-26, NKJV And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth,...

Acts 17:24-26, NKJV ...and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings.

Philippians 2:3-4, NKJV Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteems others better than himself.

Philippians 2:3-4, NKJV Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
