Be Blameless

Job 1: 8

“There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil."

How do you become like no one else on earth, in God’s eyes?

The Word of God spells it out for us….. be blameless—upright—fear God—shun evil.

It’s said that Job would offer up burnt offering sacrifices for his 10 children, just in case his children sinned.

What might happen to our families, if father’s did likewise?

Actually, the bible says that for Job, this was a regular thing.

I think it’s important to ask the question….. “How do I fit the mold of Job?”

Job was put to the ultimate test, and he survived without blaming God for the fiasco that took place in his life.

When something goes wrong in our lives—often the first One we do want to blame is God.

The modern day picture of blameless/upright, might have people flocking to bible study, or even praying without ceasing.

Instead of pursuing our own selfish interests, pursuing God, would be at the top of the list.

A person who fears God and shuns evil, will turn the TV off, when garbage appears on the screen.

Forget about being like no one else on earth, what about becoming like no one else in your church?

That might be something we could all attain to—but that would take a concerted effort on our part………
