Honesty: Upholding Integrity in a Complex World

[vinceleemiller]

Right Without Recognition | Ecclesiastes 9:13-16

Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day.

Today, we’re looking at Ecclesiastes 9:13-16:

I have also seen this example of wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great to me. There was a little city with few men in it, and a great king came against it and besieged it, building great siegeworks against it. But there was found in it a poor, wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that poor man. But I say that wisdom is better than might, though the poor man's wisdom is despised and his words are not heard. — Ecclesiastes 9:13-16

We love stories where the underdog wins. A small, outmatched city, a powerful enemy, and a poor man with nothing but wisdom—yet he saves the day. Sounds like the setup for a hero’s celebration, right? But here’s the twist: no one remembers him. No statues, no parades, no honor.

That stings.

Solomon is exposing a hard truth about life—wisdom is greater than raw power, but the world doesn’t always recognize it. Strength gets the spotlight. Wealth commands attention. But wisdom? It often goes unnoticed.

So, why be wise if no one listens?

Because true wisdom isn’t about applause. It’s about living rightly before God. The wise man in this story did the right thing, even without reward. That’s integrity. That’s godly wisdom—choosing what’s right because it’s right, not because of recognition.

And isn’t that a picture of Christ? The world rejected Him, yet His wisdom brought salvation. Many still ignore His words, but they remain the only path to life.

So today, don’t chase the applause of others. Choose wisdom. Even if no one notices, God does.

#GodlyWisdom, #LiveWithIntegrity, #EternalPerspective

ASK THIS:

When have you done the right thing without receiving recognition?

Why is it hard to pursue wisdom when the world values power and wealth?

How does this passage remind you of Christ’s sacrifice?

In what area of your life do you need to choose wisdom over approval?

DO THIS:

Choose wisdom over recognition today—do the right thing even if no one sees or praises you.

PRAY THIS:

Lord, help me to choose wisdom even when it goes unnoticed. Let me live for Your approval, not the applause of others. Amen.

PLAY THIS:

Thank You For It All.

How do you handle the little responsibilities?

What do you do with the small things?

How do you behave when nobody is watching and when issues don’t seem big?

The truth of the matter is, if you are faithful in small things, you will be faithful in the bigger things. #littlethingsthatmatter

God is determining whether you can be trusted with great things. #haveintegrity

God is watching you in the small things and judges you from those. #integrityiseverything

Your public blessing is determined by your private integrity. #livewithintegrity

When we are faithful with what has already been given to us, we are given more because we have shown we can be trusted with it. #thelittlethingsmatter

Faithfulness and integrity in little things, the performance of little duties and little deeds of kindness, will cheer and gladden the pathway of life. #integrity

Being faithful in the little things allows us to be entrusted with greater things, because we prove our humility, our willingness, and our consistency. #goodstewards

Being faithful in the smallest things is the way to gain, maintain, and demonstrate the strength needed to accomplish something great. #itsthelittlethings

Your desire to be faithful in what is much or big will be a fantasy unless you are first faithful or trusty in little things. #goodsteward

God treasures little acts of service as much if not more than the big acts of service. #thelittlethings

Your faithfulness when no one is watching prepares you to be faithful when the eyes of the world are on you. #littlethings

How to decrease your level of stress without changing the circumstances: “Control” is just chaos going your way for a little while...” How true it is... the ILLUSION of control! How many people’s SOURCE OF STRESS comes from your lack of control in a situation?? Meaning, your need for control the EXACT THING that is making the situation stressful...? But if you are doing your very best with the situation at hand, acting with INTEGRITY, and trust that what’s meant for you won’t miss you, it’s all you CAN do, right!? Learning to let go of control can take a huge weight off your shoulders. It can be so freeing...but it takes awareness and conscious practice. 📸: Embracing the chaos but looking for the light 😆 literally...! (Especially the last one 😬) Control is something I know I have learned I need to let go over the past few years. I’ve come a long way and it DOES make any given situation “lighter”... I still need reminders at times but am aware of when it’s the EXACT THING adding to my stress in a given situation. Simple awareness of your need for control, for the sake of control, can be LIBERATING. #HappySunday - Life lessons brought to you by a #Lego movie 😆 💁🏼‍♀️ #lifelessons #letgoofcontrol #control #controlisanillusion #lettinggo #trusttheprocess #integrity #livewithintegrity #diving #openwaterdiver #divebermuda #stressreliever #stress #stressmanagement #stressrelief #stressrelieftip #mindsetmatters #mindsetcoach #mindsetmakeover #mindsetreset #learntoletgo #controlling #whatsmeantforyouwontpassyouby #mindsetiseverything #everyonedeservesacoach #internationallkfecoach #lessstress #stressless (at South Shore, Bermuda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV-aMJqrRta/?utm_medium=tumblr

Be mindful what you say and do to people for your mouth can cut like a sword. When someone has offended you, don’t carry the pain, release it for Luke 10:19-20 States Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” #getyourfaithup #inspirationalquotes #wordsofwisdom #word #wordscanhurt #inspire #empowerment #godisgood #release #forgiveness #tongue #useyourtonguetospeaklife #godisfaithful #goddidnotgiveusaspiritoffear #iloveyoujesus❤️ #god #speakpositive #letyourlightshine #bewhogodcreatedyoutobe #livewithintegrity (at South Carolina)

I'm not a professional or the like. But I do like to do research on random topics. One of my favorite topics to research is on lying. People are not stupid. When we lie, it's obvious. And sometimes, we believe a lie because it's not part our our character. So, it's normal to want to believe a person, especially if they're people we're supposed to trust. We all lie once in a while, even then, it is isn't right. However, when you make it a habit or lifestyle, you have some serious issues. And if a person is that good at lying, they're probably a sociopath (created) or psychopath (born) 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 #livewithintegrity #integrity #honestyquotes #honesty #psychology #lyingquotes #lying https://www.instagram.com/p/BuOuueHBR7h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ueajgrajs37r

How to Confront Injustice in Your Life | Ecclesiastes 4:1-3

Injustice is everywhere. You see it in corrupt leaders who abuse power, in workplaces where favoritism tramples fairness, and in courtrooms where wealth can buy a better verdict. From ancient times to today, oppression has been part of life “under the sun.” Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, looked at it all and felt the crushing weight of its burden.

Welcome to The Daily, where we engage with God’s Word—verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day.

Our text today is Ecclesiastes 4:1-3.

Again I saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun. And behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no one to comfort them! On the side of their oppressors there was power, and there was no one to comfort them. And I thought the dead who are already dead more fortunate than the living who are still alive. But better than both is he who has not yet been and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun. — Ecclesiastes 4:1-3

Solomon saw what we still see today—some suffer while others prosper through cruelty. The powerful exploit the weak, and often, no one stands in the gap. The weight of this reality led Solomon to a startling conclusion: the dead are more fortunate than the living, and even more fortunate are those who’ve never witnessed such evil. That’s raw, unfiltered honesty from a man who had seen it all.

But here’s the hard truth—we’re not just victims of injustice; we’re part of the problem. Maybe you’ve turned a blind eye to someone in need. Maybe you’ve benefited from an unfair situation. Maybe you’ve judged someone without knowing their story. Injustice isn’t just "out there"—it’s in us.

This broken world stirs in us a longing for something better—perfect justice, the kind only God can bring. We cry out for fairness because we’re made in the image of a just God. That longing? It’s proof that we need Him.

So instead of just lamenting injustice, ask God to show you where you can live with greater integrity. Stand for truth. Act with fairness. Seek His justice in your own life first. And trust that one day, God will set everything right.

#JusticeMatters, #BiblicalTruth, #LiveWithIntegrity

ASK THIS:

Where have you turned a blind eye to injustice?

How have you unknowingly benefited from unfair situations?

What does your longing for justice reveal about your heart?

How can you stand for truth and fairness today?

DO THIS:

Reflect on one area in your life where you’ve ignored injustice—then take one action to make it right.

PRAY THIS:

God, open my eyes to injustice within and around me. Give me courage to act with integrity and reflect Your perfect justice. Amen.

PLAY THIS:

Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly.
