by Joseph P. Farrell, Giza Death Star: K.M. spotted this story about Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signing a bill into law making lab-grown meat illegal and a misdemeanor in Alabama, and it’s worth nothing because it represents, I suspect, a trend. We’ll get back to that idea and my high octane speculation in a moment, […]

What it means to live a life of integrity Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment. – >Proverbs 12:19 A man went fishing one day without catching a single fish. So, he packed up his gear, went to the market, and picked out three fat fish to take home to his family. As the store manager was about to wrap up the purchase, the man asked him, "Before you wrap them, could you toss them to me, one by one? That way, I can truthfully tell my wife I caught them!" When it comes to telling the truth, many people like to scoot by on technicalities, half-truths, and word games in order to hide the real facts. They value their reputation over their integrity and do whatever it takes to make sure people think highly of them. But when we look at the Scriptures, we find that way of thinking is a recipe for disaster. Take King Saul, for example, who directly disobeyed God's orders in 1 Samuel 15. When he was confronted about it, he continued down his path of lies for no other reason than to preserve his reputation while slowly destroying his integrity. The old adage is true: Honesty is the best policy. When you live a life of truth, you'll not only please the Lord; you'll keep a clear conscience. So be truthful in all you do and maintain a life of honesty and integrity. Prayer Challenge Ask God to help you be truthful in all your dealings with others and to value your integrity over your reputation. Questions for Thought Why do you think many people place more value on their reputations than they do their integrity? In what areas of your life have you perhaps let your integrity slip? What can you do to build it back up? Visit the Senior Living Ministries website The post What it Means to Live a Life of Integrity – Senior Living – May 24 appeared first on GodUpdates.

A Prayer For God To Be Your Shield And Portion TodayBy Chris Eyte “When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. ‘Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?’ the servant asked. ‘Don't be afraid,’ the prophet answered. ‘Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’ And Elisha prayed, ‘Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.’ Then the Lord opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” – 2 Kings 6:15-17 I love this passage in the Bible because it sums up the spiritual reality in all difficult circumstances. How many times do we see the enemy and opposing forces against us, just like Elisha's servant? And that puts us in a panic – yet the angelic armies of the Living God are unseen but present nonetheless, and far greater. We just need to see that substantial truth! Faith is not only confidence in our hopes for the future (Hebrews 11:1) but "assurance about what we do not see". That means here and now. This is why our faith in Christ gives us the leverage needed to win the daily battles in life. If the Lord is your portion (Lamentations 3: 24) – the bread in your life – wait for him to act in the impossible. He is omnipresent in the conflict.  It seems to be a recurring theme in the Bible that when a situation is presented as impossible, God makes it even more impossible before He acts and changes the outcome. Think of Sarah, Abraham's wife, who gives birth at a very old age. Impossible! Think of Moses trapped by the sea as he leads his people away from Pharaoh. God rolled the sea back. Impossible! Think of Elijah, who pours water on the altar again and again after the false prophets fail to set alight their sacrifice to Baal. The Lord sends fire from heaven and sets the drenched wood ablaze. Impossible! Or think of Gideon who was told by God to squeeze his army down to a handful of men before going into battle. He wins against overwhelming numbers. Impossible! Or Paul the foremost opponent of Christians, made blind, then sees and becomes the foremost proponent of Christians. Impossible! All these situations were impossible and made more impossible – but God acted in the end.  Perhaps the most impossible of all is humankind, plagued with the infection of evil, rescued from hell by the self-sacrifice of the living God in the guise of the first-century humble carpenter, Jesus Christ. Derek Richmond was a runner in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. In the 400m semi-final, Richmond tore his hamstring about 250 meters from the finish line. The runner crashed onto the ground but got himself up and limped heavily around the track. Suddenly, TV cameras focused on an older man trotting onto the pitch who reached the runner. The stranger put his arms across the younger man's back and helped him to complete the lap, reaching the finish line at a walking pace. It was Jim Redmond, father of Derek, helping his son to end the race, to rousing applause from the 65,000 spectators.  That iconic moment in sporting history is an illustration of how God is our shield and portion. We don't need to complete the race alone when we are in trouble and face the impossible. God is holding us up, walking with us arm-on-arm as we cross the finish line.  Let’s pray: Father God.You are God of the impossible and to be both loved and feared. When situations overwhelm me and the odds are against me, I thank you that your love stands firm and is reliable. I don't understand why things work out so difficult sometimes, but always you show through and prove once again that it is your good, perfect, and pleasing will that concludes a matter. Your grace is sufficient for me. You are my strength, my shield, and my portion now and forever. In Jesus' name. Amen.   Photo credit: ©GettyImages/kieferpix Christopher Eyte lives with his wife Céline and three children in Swansea, Wales, UK.
