Integrity of Heart

[Not me]

Job 4:6 (NASB)
"Is not your fear of God your confidence, And the integrity of your ways your hope?

Job 8:20a (NASB)
"Lo, God will not reject a man of integrity,~~~~~

Integrity of heart. 

Walking in the integrity of our heart before God. 

None of us have arrived. All of us are on our courses set before us by God, if our hearts would be His. 

A honest heart that has integrity is called for. A heart that would know truth, a heart that would love truth. Truth being the foundation of all things that would abide. For only truth will stand through the fire of God’s gaze. Though it may be wrong and not see, it is the integrity of heart that  will itself see it through.

As the integrity of the heart of Job saw him through. Though he did not see or understand, in the integrity of his heart he spoke. Though he spoke from ignorance, but it was the integrity of his heart, is that that protected his ignorance from the fire of God and being that thing that caused Job even though he was speaking out of ignorance, to be able to stand before God and be pleasing to Him. Only the ignorance was done away with, which in turn caused great growth in Job, whereby in the end Job rejoices in God in a state of growth and of less ignorance, which naturally causes a deeper joy, rejoicing, enjoying of one’s life before God. 

The integrity of heart that would know righteousness. 

The integrity of what we know and believe to be right, is what we walk in.  Though we may be wrong, we are not conscious of any wrong. We are trying to hide nothing from God, or do we demand our own way before God. We have laid our hearts and life’s open before Him, and we have done this over and over again, have committed our way to Him.

Though we don’t know, don’t see, don’t understand, in so many areas. Still with a heart that would be made all His, do we press into Him. A heart that would do righteousness, if only it could see what it was. Whether it was up or down, to the left or right. The desire to know what is right. If only we could see, if only our eyes were opened a little more. To see a little clearer, a little deeper, to understand a little more. To search into this mystery called;

“Christ our life”.

To walk before God with a heart that is open to Him in all things. To walk in all the light we see. Though we may be wrong in area after area, when we are showed, we are quick to turn, quick to admit wrong, quick to turn back from self to God. For all wrong only comes from and through,  looking at self, to do something for us, that only God can do. For in that is the foundation of repentance, a turning from self to God.

For if it’s me, it’s sin,  if it’s Christ, it’s not;

The integrity of the heart that will be willing to accept such a truth, is the heart that will go far before God. The integrity of heart that will only look and care for what is right. Personalities and things matter not to a heart that has integrity in itself. For integrity of heart demands that right, sees that it alone is the bar that all things are to be weighed against. Truth and righteousness are it’s strength, it’s hope, it’s desire. Integrity of heart that says; “righteousness does exist” therefore righteousness is that that I will search out after. The heart who’s internal integrity will demand nothing less of itself. Knows that it itself is wrong, but this God who has called it to Himself will perfect that which concerns it, if only it maintains this integrity of heart. 

Blessed be God, for when Jesus died, we died, and in that faith, is our strength, and our integrity of heart. For in that faith, is our only hope, in the strength of His death. 

Blessings to all that would, pray, long after, and desire such a integrity of heart. 

Much love in Christ, Not me
