Any hidden sin defiles our walk, as well as contaminates those we are around. We cannot represent the Lord with inner defilement. Hiding His word in our heart and walking in it, will purify our thoughts, words, and actions.

A leader with hidden sin, does not lead in righteousness ~ but in defilement. Sobering thought. Beware of the doctrine of this world from getting mixed into the meal of your life. What we hide in our heart will permeate into every aspect of our lives ~ for righteousness or unrighteousness. 

Here is the fruit of walking upright. Proverbs 3:32 Amplified says, “…His confidential communion and secret counsel are with the (uncompromisingly) righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with Him).”

Fresh revelation of truth comes as we meditate on His word. Psalm 25:14 Amplified says, “The secret (of the sweet satisfying companionship) of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its (deep, inner) meaning.”
