Job 31:24-29

For a Christian, everything is sacred. We need to glorify God in everything we do − be it work, family, business or profession. But we have created a gap between work and worship, secular and sacred.

We have to decide to stop living a double life. Let us bridge the gap!

Many of us have heard of the exemplary Proverbs 31 woman. Maybe we've wished for a male equivalent. Well, there is one; the Job 31 man! Let's read together and learn how to become men of integrity.

The book of Job chronicles testing a righteous man's faith through suffering.

Drawing on James Spencer's book titled Useful to God: Eight Lessons from the Life of D. L. Moody, this Bible Plan examines eight characteristics evident in the Scriptures and in the life of 19th century evangelist Dwight Moody (e.g., surrendered, prayerful, humbled, undistracted, and studious). A free guide including these reflections along with activities and additional devotional content is also available for download from D. L. Moody Center.
