📖 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 NKJV
In this scripture, we see that the Lord is bragging on Job for his excellence in godliness and his stand for righteousness. Can the same be said of us? Are we living and standing up for God? Christians have started to compromise on the things they once stood firm on. We are a peculiar people, and we are always to stand out from the world. When we compromise on the standards of God, we lose what makes us different. God told us to come out from among them and be separate. Job was separated from the world and its way of life. God is so pleased when we decide to live the same way. In Genesis 6, it talks about how the wickedness of man was great upon the earth and God was sorry that he made man, but God said Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. Why did Noah find favor in the eyes of the Lord? The answer is in Genesis 6:9. It says “This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generation. Noah walked with God.” Noah took a stand for God in an ungodly society, and we can do the same thing. Let us make the firm decision like Noah and Job to live for God so that He will be able to brag on us.
