#soap # Job 31 ## Title: Be Your Own Accountability Partner ## Scripture: (Job 31:1) “I made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I entertain thoughts against a virgin? (NET) ## Observation: Job is finishing his final speech to his friends. He is continuing to protest his innocence. In today’s verse, he is saying that he was his own accountability partner and kept watch over his sexual integrity. This is an important point for us to remember. The first person we are accountable to is God. The second person we are accountable to is ourselves. We have to be careful not to allow ourselves to slide on important points of integrity. We cannot hide from ourselves. We know when we are being honest and right. So, we must keep watch over ourselves and hold ourselves accountable. ## Application: Place boundaries of integrity in your life and be the first to call yourself out and hold yourself accountable. A great way to do this is through an accountability journal. Ask and answer hard questions about your personal integrity each day. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for leading us to faithful integrity each day.
