Act with integrity, even when unseen.

This phrase made me think of Chapter 6 in the Book of Daniel. Daniel served in a high position under King Darius, which caused a lot of jealously among the other officials. These corrupt satraps looked for dirt on Daniel…but couldn’t find anything against his character… even to the point of reluctantly affirming his moral integrity, upright character, and faithfulness to his God. (Daniel 6:5) But still they looked for a way to malign him, so they deceived King Darius into issuing an edict forbidding any prayers other than to the king for 30 days. Which leads us to Daniel 6:10, ” Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.” It shows that Godly character doesn’t change with circumstances or situations – whether public or private. (Psalm 101:2)
