“INTEGRITY!”
Job 2:9
Then his wife said to him, ‘Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!’

More and more I am impressed with the necessity of allowing God to have total and complete control of our lives.  If it seems that I repeat this concept again and again, it is because it is so vital to me. Job’s wife could not see the purpose God had for her husband’s suffering and shedoubted the wisdom of his integrity.  

There will always be those who are critical of us when we choose to trust in God.  They seem to think they are wise by using worldly wisdom, and we are utter fools for trusting in the Lord.  Right now, I can tell you, I would rather be a fool for Jesus than to be wise in my own eyes. 

There is an old adage which goes: You can keep your mouth closed and just look stupid, or you can open your mouth and remove all doubts!  The same goes for trust in God.  Our trust in God must not be based upon what other people will think, but because we know that God is the blessed controller of all things, and He will do what is right.

This brings me to a thought about why we trust.  It is not that we are lazy, indifferent, or lack the initiative to control things.  No, it is a willful choice of the ownership of our life. That is true INTEGRITY!

Blessings dear hearts.  May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
