17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.
18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Three Verses That Keep Us Singing. From the dawn of creation, music has been an expression of faith and triumph. The morning stars sang together at the world’s birth, and Scripture assures us that the redeemed will one day sing a new song before God’s throne. Throughout the ages, the faithful have lifted their voices in victory—from Miriam’s song at the Red Sea, to Israel’s praise at Beer, to Jehoshaphat’s choir confounding their enemies, and Paul and Silas singing at midnight in a prison cell.

“I’m very big on faith, and no matter what situation that happens in life, whether it’s just something that’s bringing you down or a situation where you just don’t know what to do, I always go back to Romans 8:28 where it says God works all things for the good of His people,” advised Kinlee House. “I’ve had situations go on around me and witnessed others go through situations, and you may not always be able to see the good in it, but He does, and you have to let that be enough.

Mr. Webster says that integrity is adherence to a code of incorruptibility, an unimpaired condition, and being complete or undivided.
When I was in the Army, one of the seven core values that was drilled into us to live by was integrity. This value was also a foundation in the formation of the USA and for those who still believe in it, integrity continues to be a foundation.
