Exodus 9, Luke 12, Job 27 and I Corinthians 13

Job 27:5 - No matter who is pressuring him...no matter what Job has to suffer...he refuses to sacrifice his integrity. Virtually everything he had was taken away from him - his kids, property, wealth, livestock, etc...but what cannot be taken from him is his integrity...his character. His integrity is priceless to him...it is a sign of the union he has with God...he will not betray the image of the great I AM that reside in him by corrupting his character. Do you feel as strongly?

I Corinthians 13:12 - When we allow love to shape us and dictate who we are, then we get a glimpse (albeit a dim one) of the world to come...a glimpse of what it is like to walk in the presence of God - the God who is LOVE. When our words, actions, thoughts, are anchored in love, then our lives are anchored in God.
