Professor Boaz: Running with JesusSample
Being a Lead Runner of Integrity
By justice a king gives a country stability, but those who are greedy for bribes tear it down. (Proverbs 29:4)
South African president, Nelson Mandela, famously said, “The first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact of society if you have not changed yourself"... Great peace makers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.” He was not greedy for wealth and power. He wanted peace and stability for his people.
A good runner, especially a lead runner, has to be a person of integrity, and honesty. A runner who lacks integrity and honesty cause oneself to come to ruin, and takes other fellow runners down with him/her.
Justice, integrity, and stability go together.
Injustice, corruption, and poverty go together.
A prayer:
Oh Lord, today, please help me to be a person of justice and integrity.
