(A Story of Integrity)

The Story of Job-
Job was a man of God who endured an extreme amount of pain and suffering, but thoroughly remained faithful to God. In the beginning of the story; Job loses his wealth, his health, and even his beloved children. Only Job and his wife survived the plunder that God allowed Satan to inflict. In his suffering Job has 3 friends to consul him and reflect that there is a purpose even in suffering . And they all begin to contemplate a reasonable question of why we must endure suffering when God’s almighty power can instantaneously bring it to an end. Even Job’s wife declares the tragedies unfair telling Job to “curse God and die”. But Job chose to stay persistent in his faithfulness to God’s unfailing love. Job and his friends were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for his suffering, so God himself decides to speak directly to Job. God askes him questions that force Job to clearly realize his infinite wisdom. So Job felt security in God’s power. Ultimately God restores Job’s health, family, and wealth.

Integrity is an important part of character development and dependability. Integrity builds unbreakable bonds between yourself and love ones. True Integrity is only possessed by the strongest on individuals.

Thanks have a blessed day!!
