All Scripture is inspired by God

and is useful to teach us what is true

and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives.

It corrects us when we are wrong

and teaches us to do what is right.

2 Timothy 3:16 (NLT)

PUTT

AS PROFESSIONAL GOLFER Ray Floyd got ready to tap in a routine nine-inch putt, he saw the ball move ever so slightly…

According to the rule book, if the ball moves at all, the golfer must take a penalty stroke. Floyd was among the leaders in the tournament offering a top prize of $108,000. To acknowledge that the ball had moved could mean losing his chance for big money.

Writer David Holahan described what some golfers might have done: “The athlete ducks his head and flails wildly with his hands, as if being attacked by a killer bee; next, he steps back from the ball, rubbing his eye for a phantom speck of dust, all the while scanning the playing partners and the gallery for any sign that the ball’s movement has been detected by others. If the coast is clear, he taps the ball in for his par.”

Ray Floyd, however, didn’t do that. He assessed himself a penalty stroke and wound up with a bogey on the hole.

The patriarch Job also showed remarkable honesty in matters not seen my human observers. He maintained his integrity by fearing God and shunning evil. Job knew that the eyes of the Lord were on him at all times, and that was what really mattered to him. The true test of our integrity comes when no one is watching us. If we remember that God sees what others don’t and that it’s His approval that matters, our integrity will improve. M.R.D.II

“Does He not see my ways,

and count all my steps?”

Job 31:4
