I will never concede that you are right. I will defend my integrity until I die. I will maintain my innocence without wavering. My conscience is clear for as long as I live. Job 27:5-6
1. Something old but new today: Job is determined to speak no evil or no lies regardless of what his friends say. He will defend his integrity until the end. Job is NOT giving in to peer pressure at this point. No vessel on earth can convince him to speak against his integrity that he has lived all his life.
2. Something new: Wisdom: People do know where to find wisdom and where can they find understanding? People look in the wrong places for it and it is not among the living. (Job 28: 12-13, 20, 23,28) God knows where wisdom is. The fear of the Lord is true wisdom; to forsake all evil is real understanding. We can often forget to go to God and we seek counsel of man first. In going to God first. he will give wisdom or direct us to where wisdom is if he desires us to seek counsel from woman/man. He knows where the wisdom is.
3. Value application for today: Live a life of integrity and do not give in to peer pressure at any age. Seek wisdom and understanding from God. Fear the Lord , staying away from evil and true wisdom will come to you.
