Today's Scripture
Job 1:8, NIV
Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil."
Today's Word
In today's Scripture, I love the fact that God was bragging on Job. If you could hear what God is saying about you, you'd be amazed. We think God is focused on our faults and shortcomings, but God sees the good things in you. He sees your heart to help others. He sees your sincerity, your kindness, your courage. I can hear Him telling the angels, "Have you seen My son Jim? He's really amazing. Have you seen Rachel? There's no one like her." God is proud of you. He made you in His own image. He calls you a masterpiece.
Remember that just because you're having difficulty, as Job did, doesn't mean you've done something wrong. Job was the most righteous man of his day. We all go through tests; seasons we don't understand. Dark seasons are not permanent. God is for you, and He will bring you through. If you stay in faith, He will bring you out promoted, increased, and at a new level of your destiny.
