This week's episode -
Let me ask you the same question Job's wife asked, "Do you still hold fast to your integrity?" (Job 2:9 NKJV). When the world around you becomes corrupt, do you cling to purity? When life gets tough and temptations come, do you remain firm in your principles? Do you still trust God? Will you swerve in your commitments or persist in your faith?
Honesty. Goodness. Character. Righteousness. Goodness. All of these words are connected to a much heavier word -- Integrity. What we discovered is that integrity is a matter of the heart. It doesn't deal with actions as much as it deals with the inner man.
What is it? How do you know you have it?
Where is it showing up in your life?
The last two weeks we have talked about proceeding and waiting - a hard thing that God asks us to do. When we are asked to do these things [and we all will be asked]
integrity is the foundation on which our actions take place. In the face of testing and trials, you choose whether to hold on to integrity or let it go.
Get a pen and your journal - we are going all the way in!
