LIFE HAS A way of beating us down at times, doesn't it?
When events don't transpire as they should and when life seems unfair, the temptation to give up our integrity can be tantalizing. Life hasn't been good to me, so why should I continue to do what is good and right?
Such a response, while common, is short-sighted.
In this month's email-exclusive article, we're continuing our examination of Job. We ponder how in the world he was able to hold fast to his integrity when he had seemingly no reason to do so.

Of course, some—seemingly at random—experience a disproportionate amount of tragedy, but no matter who you are, adversity lies waiting. Such is the result of living in a fallen world. In writing these words, I do not mean to discourage or depress you. I'd rather pretend nothing bad will ever happen. But ignorance in this case is not the proverbial bliss. Instead, armed with the knowledge that grief might be en route, we can steel ourselves for the coming storm.
"How?" You might ask.
While we've dissected nearly every angle of Job's story, he says something interesting in chapter 13—a subtle phrase but one worth examining.
