Read Proverbs chapter 10 VERSE: Proverbs 10:9–Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out. TRUTH: Walking in integrity will not necessarily make us popular or give us lots of friends. Sometimes, making a choice to walk with integrity will cost us friends.
