How To Make Your Own Thummim

Wednesday, December 31, 1969

How do we know God's will for our lives? In ancient Israel, the high priest wore a breast plate that had the Urim and the Thummim. By them, they were able to discern God's will. We don't know a lot about them, but we do know the names. In Hebrew Thummim is often translated as perfection; its root word means integrity. If you want to know God's will, the secret is integrity. Integrity comes from the Latin word that means incorruptible. For believers it means staying true and faithful to the Word of God, not mixing it or watering it down. Living 100% all out for God is a quality many believers don't have. If you really want to know God's will for your life, live as a person of biblical godly integrity. Put away that compromise, that sin, and that thing that doesn't belong there. For from integrity comes the Thummim. And from the Thummim comes the revelation of God's will. Walk in integrity and you will be led in His perfect will - even better and more so than if you had the Urim and Thummim.
