Job 1 - A Father's Faith

Job thought, “My children may have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Job offered sacrifices for them all the time.
Job 1:5 (GW)
21 He said, “Naked I came from my mother, and naked I will return. The Lord has given, and the Lord has taken away! May the name of the Lord be praised.” Job 1:21 (GW)
Reflection of B:
Job is a righteous man but had unrighteous children. Therefore, as a father who loved his children, he offered sacrifices on their behalf in order to atone for their sins.
The devil is all over the places to cause us to fail God. For Job, he stood strong in faith in God regardless of what happened to him. He is our model of faith in times of suffering, whereas Abraham is our model of faith when comes to sacrifice and obedience.
Dear Lord,
Thank You for teaching me through the example of Job, to be faithful and trusting You no matter how much I may suffer. May I know Christ more each day so that I will not be shaken in any circumstances.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
