We know from the story of Job that God considered Job a righteous person. If you are anything like me, then you want God to consider you a righteous person as well, right? I want to honor the righteousness that Jesus has given me on the cross by living as a righteous man. How about you? Well, in chapter 29 Job gives us a little breakdown on the life that he lived...the character he had...the thing he fought for...and I think it gives us a great started point for living righteous, God-honoring lives. Check it out...
He helped the poor.
He helped orphans (He was a father to the fatherless).
He took care of widows.
He became eyes for the blind.
He became the feet for the crippled.
He stood up to those who tried to take advantage of others.
These are the righteous acts of the man who God held up as an example of what a man is supposed to look like. Does your life look like that? Could that list be applied to your life?
