Reflections

The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil.” Job 1:8

Often times when we read the story of Job we try to find some fault with Job because of what happened to him.  But God saw Job as a blameless and upright man who feared God and shunned evil.  In God’s statement about Job there is no”but” or comma after the statement.  God saw Job as a man with no fault.  So it would be wrong for us to find fault with Job.

Those of us who are saved are viewed by God as righteous.  God no longer sees us as sinners.  God does not have a negative view of us.  He sees past our weaknesses and sees us from our future.  That is how God saw Job.  Even if Job had faults God saw the best of Job and was telling Satan that there was no one on earth like Job.

Just picture the delight and love God had for Job when He made the above statement.  God knew Job was a good man.  God was being a proud Father bragging about one of His children.  He does the same for all of His children.  He sees the best in us.
