Daily Bread — Integrity

Today’s Reading: Matthew 5:27–37
(EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“Let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”
(Matthew 5:37, KJV)

This week’s EFKS theme:
The Gospel of Matthew: Christ’s Ministry Begins

A Thought for Today

Jesus speaks about integrity as something that begins within. He calls His followers to honesty, faithfulness, and consistency between what is said and what is lived.

Integrity is revealed in the quiet choices we make.

What This Means for Us Today

Jesus reminds us that faith is not only about outward behaviour, but about the truth of our hearts. Integrity means allowing God’s word to shape our thoughts, our words, and our commitments.

When our lives are rooted in truth, trust grows — with God and with others.

Carry This With You

Choose honesty and faithfulness today.
Integrity honours God in both words and actions.

A Simple Prayer

God, shape our hearts with truth.
Help us to live with integrity
and to reflect Your faithfulness in all we do.
Amen.

Today’s Invitation

Pause today and consider whether your words and actions reflect the truth God is shaping within you, and ask Him to guide you with wisdom and honesty.
