Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth,
a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?" - Job 1:8
On a particular day,
the Lord Almighty spoke about one man called Job. God saw him leading a
righteous life among all those were on the earth. None on the earth were living
a righteous life as Job.
1.
Even today can the Lord
Almighty consider you and say about you with such boldness as He spoke about
Job on that day? Are we fearing God and shuns evil as Job did? If God places us
in position or rank according to our righteousness, where will we be standing?
Soon Job lost all
his wealth, health, his children and everything that he had.
His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity?
Curse God and die!” - Job 2:9
Job lived a
righteous life before his family.
2.
Sometimes we fail to live a
righteous life before our family but to others around us we act as if we were
righteous. And at times we succumb to the trials and temptations that we face
and lose our righteousness. Today God wants us to live a righteous life before
our own family and to do only what is right at God’s sight.
“…Till I die I will
not put away my integrity from me. My righteousness I hold
fast, and will not let it go; My heart shall not reproach me as long as I live." - Job 27:5-6
Job himself had
decided to live a righteous life before God at any cost till he dies. Job lost
everything that he had but he lived a righteous life that he had no reproach
within himself.
3.
You might lose anything in
your life. You might be in a terrible situation. At any cost do not fall into temptations
and lose your righteousness.
4.
God has called you to live
a holy life as He is holy. Let God rejoice over you as you stand for Him at all
situations.
