Integrity is important because Even when you're doing something right when no one's looking is the right thing to do and to make sure your words are the main thing you have to control.
Devotions
Integrity is when you are doing good things but not everyone does it. Esther is a character in the bible that shows integrity by marrying the king because the king chooses her over all those other pretty and beautiful women out there. When Esther was taken to King Xerxes in the palace, King Xerxes was in love with queen Esther more than any other young woman. He was so pleased with her he made her queen instead of Vashti.
In the begging queen, Esther was just a normal woman until queen Esther's parents died so Mordecai took her in and raised her as his own. Queen Esther was brought to the king and was in Hegai care he gave her whatever she needed and she got taught the ways he treated her pleasure. Queen Esther was not to speak of her family background because Mordecai asked her not to do so. King Xerxes did not know that Queen Esther was jews she didn't tell anyone because they were exiled. Haman was only planning a plot against the jews because Mordecai refused to bow down to Haman. When Haman saw that Mordecai would not bow down Haman was filled with rage.
Haman was planning a way to destroy Mordecai for disobeying his orders to bow down to him. Queen Esther had told king Xerxes that she was a jew and king Xerxes agreed with Haman to plot against the jews for only one reason *Mordecai not bowing down to him*. When Mordecai found out that king Xerxes was planning a plot, Mordecai asked Esther for help so Esther sent him all that he needed but Mordecai kept refusing so Esther sent one of her men to go ask what was the trouble.
Mordecai explained the whole story to the men that Esther sent when the men returned and told queen Esther everything and Esther was trying her best to not get Mordecai hurt. Their plan was to send Esther to the king to beg for mercy so that the jews wouldn't have to die. Yes, Esther was doing the right thing for her people and they got a victory.
