DAILY REFLECTION

“The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.”Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬

One life committed to righteousness can spark a global movement of hope and transformation.

In 2010, Graham Power, a South African businessman, author, and speaker founded the Unashamedly Ethical movement - a global initiative birthed from a desire to see ethics, moral values, and integrity restored in every sphere of society. Through advocacy, education, and collaboration, the movement calls individuals, families, organisations, and nations to embrace a life of clean living and principled leadership. Its mission is to combat corruption and champion integrity in alignment with the transformative power of the Gospel. Leaders are encouraged to pledge to honesty and uprightness, understanding that righteousness is not just a moral ideal - it is divine protection from the snares of compromise. Though Graham Power passed away in 2022, his legacy continues to echo the Gospel’s universal message: a call to live truthfully, lead courageously, and pursue justice in the name of Christ.

Proverbs 11:6 reminds us that choices rooted in righteousness bring freedom, while those based on deceitful desires bring entrapment. It serves as both encouragement and warning: living uprightly protects and delivers us, while chasing sinful passions without regard for God’s truth will ultimately ensnare us. 

“Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character.”
