Integrity

Job 2:9 – His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!”

Job 13:15 – Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face.

Job 35:1-2 – Then Elihu said: “Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am in the right, not God.’

Exodus 20:7 – “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

Application:

• ·         No matter, what happens, Job intends to seek vindication from God and believes that he will receive it.
• ·         Elihu thinks that it is unjust and inconsistent for Job to expect vindication from God and at the same time imply that God does not care whether we are righteous.
• ·         But allowance must be made for a person to express their feelings.
