I will never admit you are in the right; till I die, I will not deny my integrity. Job 27:5 NIV
Do you have the kind of integrity others cannot deny? Job had that kind of reputation with outsiders and with himself. He knew he was faithful to God; faithful to serve others, and that there was nothing anyone could say about his character. His friends mistakenly believed that all suffering must be the result of sin, but Job’s suffered even in his righteousness.
One of my chief goals in life is to raise my two boys to be men of character. No doubt if their life is like mine there will be people think bad of them, even spread rumors about them, no matter how good they are, but at least they can know that they are true to God in their love for Him and their love of others. If I accomplish that as a father I will feel I have done my job well.
How’s your character? I’m not asking what others think about you. People can easily be wrong. I’m asking where you stand with God. What does He think of you? Does He know without question your love for Him and your desire to love and serve others? Not that you are perfect; we all know better than that, but that your heart’s desire is headed in the right direction and you truly desire to please God in all you do. Accomplish that and you will never have to deny your own integrity!

I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
