Are you Flawless?

I recently authored a post on Facebook that elicited a broadly positive response and proved edifying for many readers. However, it also prompted curiosity among some, particularly with regard to my use of the term “flawless.”

When I say, “People will lie on you to create conflict. When you’re flawless, they can’t compete,” it aligns with Psalm 37:37 in this way:

Upright living attracts opposition. When your character is blameless and your actions are righteous, those who operate in jealousy, insecurity, or deceit may feel threatened. Unable to find true fault, they resort to lies and slander to create strife.

God promises peace in the end. Psalm 37 assures that despite temporary attacks, the upright person’s ultimate outcome is peace. False accusations might stir temporary trouble, but they cannot undo a life rooted in integrity.

Their conflict doesn’t change your standing with God. When you remain steadfast and continue walking in truth, the lies fall flat over time, and God’s vindication brings lasting peace—something your opponents can’t manufacture or compete with.

In short, Psalm 37:37 teaches that no matter how others scheme against you, the “end” (final result) for the person of integrity is peace, because God honors righteousness over slander.
