When a job application arrives, many employers look first for the applicant’s work experience and job history. Although helpful, when it comes time to narrow your search, a more important issue to research is their character.
Another good indication that character is important is God’s fixation on integrity. If you find someone with integrity and a sincere desire for the job, skills can often be taught.
In 1 Kings 9:4, God told Solomon at his appointment as king, “As for you, if you walk before me faithfully with integrity of heart and uprightness, as David your father did, and do all I command and observe my decrees and laws, I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever.”
God cares more about character than experience. Shouldn’t we as well?
