The book of Job is an amazing book. The most shocking part of it to me? That out of all the people in the world, Job was the one that stood out the most in God's mind:
Then the Lord asked Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil.” Job 1:8 (NLT).
What is God looking for from us? What stands out about us to God?
What stood out about Job? What was it about Job that caught God's eye?
"Blameless": Integrity: Honesty; Truthfulness; A Good Reputation;
"Fears God": Someone who is keeping God is in first place: with their Time; Talents; and Treasure. Someone who honors God above all else; Someone who spend time with Him in His Word and prayer; Someone whose life is full of worship!
"stays away from evil": Someone who is allowing Christ to change them from the inside out. Someone who is living like an "alien": IN the world; but not OF the world;
Because this is the way Job rolled, He caught God's eye!
What about you? Would these three areas stand out to God in your life?
If so, how and why?
