SERVE GOD CONSISTENTLY

FAITH CAPSULE: Consistency with no compromise serves God consistently.

Job 1, 2:1-10

Is your life of integrity before God?
To be identified by God or live life before God with integrity is not by walking wrongly before God. 
To answer with integrity before God is not an empty mouth, but a mouth full of the word of God, backed with action that is rooted in the word of God.
Any walk that does not count before God is without integrity. 
God identified Job as one full of the word of God by his walk before God as a believer. 
Satan attempted to tempt Job, and his assault on Job was not enough to derail Job from walking with the Lord. 
Is your life of integrity before God? 
What is it that is against your walk before God?
From the first assault to the second, and throughout the whole life of Job, it was clear that Job was a man that does not deviate from his stand in the Lord. 
In all challenges of Job, the consistency with no compromising was consistent, serving God.
Serving God with consistency is evidence of integrity before God. 
The Bible describes Job as one like no other, with character, stating, “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.” (Job 1:1) 
At a time of bad news, Job did not complain to God.  Job 1:20 records the response of Job, “Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped.” 
As if the first assault was not enough, Satan attacked the second time with boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.
After the first assault, God had testified about Job as a man who holds fast to his integrity (Job 1:3). 
The wife of Job knew that he was a man of integrity as she attempted to unplug Job, stating, “…Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” (Job 1:9)
Job refused to fall for the statement that his wife used to attack his integrity.
Abiding in the word continually takes a position not to fall into the trap, to stand against God.
Living life before God with integrity is the way to recover from all the adversity of the enemy.
The documentation of Job was recorded in Job 42:12-17: “Now the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning…In all the land were found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job… After this, Job lived one hundred and forty years and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations. So Job died, old and full of days.”
God is faithful to one who is faithful to His name.
Job was faithful, could not fail, or falter as a victim of the vices of the enemy.

Prayer for God: With desire, ask to live the life of integrity before God.
