how to live

• Job 1:1 (TNIV)

---

Someone once asked me that at the end of my life, what would I want to be known for? The answer would be the opening verse to Job’s story. A man who was blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil. What an amazing one sentence description for one person’s life. I wish I could say that this described me day in and day out but it doesn’t as I battle my flesh every day. But it’s certainly a great description and measuring goal to use and regularly examine my own life.

Was I ‘blameless’ and ‘upright’ today in my choices, reactions and responses? Did I fear God in all that I participated in and became a part of today? Did I shun the temptation of evil in my life today?

God thank You for Your Word that reminds me daily of who I am in You and what I need to look for through You.
