What Would He Say?

The book of Job begins with satan presenting himself to God and telling of his whereabouts. In their conversation, God takes the time to boast on His servant Job. God proudly tells how righteous and God-fearing Job is and confidently allows satan to test Job to prove that His admiration of Job is justified.

This story got me thinking about what God would say when talking about me. Would He be able to beam with pride and say, Have you seen My girl, Tiara...? and be able to celebrate my walk with Him? Would He have just as much confidence in my faith as He did with Job? Even just in general conversation, what would God have to say about me?

It's pretty humbling considering God knows it all, down to our very thoughts. He knows our every heartbeat, intention, and emotion. With all of that, God knows whether we're really trying to live righteously, if we're actually living a life of love, or if it's all a facade.

What would God have to say about you?

Today, think about the life that you're living. Think about your relationship with the Lord. If God were to test your faith, would you pass? If God was asked to describe you, would He have more positives than negatives?

There is no question that God loves all of us. There is no question that we were made righteous by the blood of His dear Son. But, are we living lives that reflect that righteousness? Are we carrying ourselves in a way that God can be proud of?

Verse of the Day: And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Job 1:8
