JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Eye on Integrity is based on Exodus 20, verse 3.
The LORD says, “You shall have no other gods before me.”
This was the first commandment that the LORD gave in this chapter. Nine others would follow. This one establishes God as our most important priority. No politician, no religious leader, or athlete, or movie star deserves the kind of allegiance that we offer to God.
God was telling the Israelites in the preceding verse that He brought the Israelites out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
Jesus came to set us free from the bondage of sin. In light of what He has done for us at the cross, we can show our gratitude by setting Him apart as Lord.
Walking with full devotion to Christ is a virtue to embrace for our lives in the Year of Integrity.

I hope you caught some of the Top 500. You and your fellow WJTL listeners voted in quite a variety of all-time favorites! Lots of great songs and artists—old and new. So many of your picks were worship songs. I’m playing as many of them as I can on this today’s episode. We’re even climbing the ranks of the Top 500 from 6:00 a.m. — and getting to the single digits closer to 10:00!

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Eye on Integrity is based on First Chronicles 28:9.
David was entrusting Solomon with a God-sized project. That project was building the temple.
Along with making provisions for Solomon to build the temple, David also had some spiritual advice:
“Acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house as the sanctuary. Be strong and do the work.”
David is on to something here. Success for any God-sized task requires a heart that is fully devoted to God and depends on the blessing of God to help us.
Walking with wholehearted devotion is a virtue to embrace for our lives in the Year of Integrity.

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Person of Integrity from the Bible is Job.
In the book of Job, his noble character is described as “blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.”
His faith had the attention of God and Satan. They had a conversation about him. Satan told God that the only reason that Job was upright was because God had blessed him and put a hedge around him. But if God would strike everything he has, Satan was convinced that Job would curse God to his face. Tragedy followed this conversation.
One by one, messengers came to tell Job that he lost his wealth, his sons and daughters, and his livestock. Job responded to the news by tearing his robe, shaving his head, and worshiping God. He said, “The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.”
The faithfulness of Job to worship the LORD in tragedy inspires us to stay true to God in our brokenness and to live a life of integrity.
