0:00.0	Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.
0:30.7	He's basically saying no matter what happens to me, I want to hold fast to my integrity.
0:40.0	I want to live and think and speak in righteousness. Job is committed to righteousness no matter
0:50.1	what comes his way. Don't you want to live this way? No matter what comes your way today,
0:59.6	to be committed to righteousness. The picture we've seen from the very beginning of Job,
1:05.7	I think Job 1 and Job 2 in all of this, in light of all that happened to Job, he did not send
1:14.8	against God with his lips. That was the language in Job 1 and 2. He worshipped and honored and
1:22.4	praised God with his lips, with his heart, with his life in the hardest moments of life.
1:31.2	So can we just pray that in our own lives? God, we pray that no matter what comes our way today,

2:39.3	against others when others wrong us. God, keep us from sin. We pray in those moments to help us to
2:47.3	live in righteousness, no matter what comes our way. God, help us to be pure and holy. I think
2:56.1	about Job's language later in Job 27-6, I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go. God,
3:05.1	we pray that you would help us to hold fast to righteousness, to the righteousness that Jesus has
3:12.0	made possible for us. Jesus, we praise you as the sinless, completely righteous one who even when
3:21.7	mocked and beaten and scourged and spit upon and nailed to across, you held fast to righteousness,
3:29.6	even when tempted to the full by the adversary, you held fast to righteousness. Jesus, we pray for
