Year of the Bible: Part Seven of Twelve

DAY 1 OF 30

Blameless, Upright, and Severely Tested

We often equate blessings or favor with a ticket out of difficulties and view difficulties as just rewards for wrong actions. In Job, we see that neither of these assumptions is correct in Job's case, and Job's trials were a direct result of his status as "one who feared God and turned away from evil." (Job 1:1)

At the opening of Job, God praised Job's godly character; Satan, the accuser, lied about Job, but God knew Job thoroughly and saw his loyalty toward Himself. God trusted Job and set Satan up for humiliation at the feet of this godly man.

Question: Job responds to the devastating attack against him with worship towards the God who gave and gives. How was Job able to respond without blaming God or sinning against Him?

Prayer: Father, while I am not Job, I would like to walk with You in such a manner as to respond to my trials with the same confidence and faith that Job demonstrated. I humble myself before You; I draw near to You. Thank you that You draw near to me and that You are transforming my character into the Image of Jesus. Therefore, I will respond to my trials with worship toward You.
