Bible Reading: Job 2:1-10
Key Verse: Verse 9
- Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou
still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
Key Words: retain
thine integrityIntegrity: your words and your
actions matching is probably the best definition to describe what integrity
is. The Christian is one who lives with
integrity. The religious person not so
much! Let me explain.
The light turned yellow just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the
crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating
through the intersection. The
tail-gating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as
she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone
and makeup. As she was still in
mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very
serious police officer. The officer
ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.
He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted,
photographed, and placed in a holding cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the
door. She was escorted back to the booking
desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. He said, "I'm very sorry for this
mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn,
flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the ‘What Would Jesus Do’ bumper
sticker, the ‘Choose Life’ license plate holder, the ‘Follow Me to Sunday
School’ bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the
trunk, so naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
