Imitate integrity

Lord, don’t you look for integrity? ~ Jeremiah 5:3a (CEB)

Remember your leaders who spoke God’s word to you. Imitate their faith as you consider the way their lives turned out. ~ Hebrews 13:7 (CEB)
Lord, you value truth and integrity because you are a being filled with truth and integrity. And you want us to know all about it. That's why you have called pastors and teachers to share your message with us. But I am easily distracted. Help me to pay better attention to the men and women who teach -- not just to what they say about you, but also to how they back it up with the way they live. I want to imitate them because they are imitating you. Amen.
