Ever been tempted to cheat just a little—on a test, in a game, or maybe online—thinking no one would notice? In Proverbs 11:1, God makes it clear: He delights in honesty and integrity. In Acts 19, we see people in Ephesus turn from magic and lies to follow Jesus, and because of that, the gospel spread with power. When we choose honesty and live with integrity, even in the small stuff, we open the door for God to work in big ways through our lives.

THINK ABOUT IT
1. Small Choices Matter: Where are you tempted to cut corners or hide the truth? What would it look like to honor God with honesty in those areas?
2. A Changed Life Speaks: In Acts 19, people turned from sin, and it made a big impact. How can your choice to live with integrity point others to Jesus?
3. God’s Power at Work: What’s one way you can invite God to work through your life this week as you choose honesty over compromise?

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for loving truth and honesty. Help me to choose integrity even when it’s hard, and let my life point others to You. Fill me with courage to honor You in every choice I make. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
