The former president of Baylor University, Rufus C. Burleson, once told an audience, “I’ve often heard my father talk about the honesty of his old friend, Colonel Ben Sherrod. Threatened with bankruptcy in his old age and staggering under a debt of $850,000, a lawyer told him, ‘For just $5,000 Colonel, I can find a technical flaw in the whole thing, and get you off.’
The old Colonel replied, ‘Sir, your proposition is insulting! People trusted me. I signed their notes in good faith, and the last dollar will be paid, even if charity digs my grave.’ My dad once took me to see him, and his face and words are still imprinted on my heart and mind.” Integrity is not doing what’s easy or what’s popular, it’s doing what’s right!
Furthermore, if you have a right to hold God to His Word, doesn’t He have the right tohold you to yours? Listen, “Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee… thou shalt pay thy vows. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways” (Job 22:27-28).
Go back and revisit the promises you’ve made! Why? Because nothing is more important than your confidence before God! “If our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence before God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him” (1 John 3:21-22).
Could this be your doorway out of trouble, or the key to the breakthrough you’ve been looking for?
