“If my steps have wandered from the way, if my heart has followed my eyes, if the least dirt has stuck to my hands; then let me sow and someone else eat, let what grows from my fields be uprooted.”
Job 31:7-8 CJB
We can actually see by now that Job was a pretty decent guy, friendly, kind and generous, but like all of us he has a sinful flaw! His seems to be pride! How? Because he is always letting us know how nice of a guy he is!
“The pride of a man will be bowed down, the arrogance of men will be humiliated, and when that day comes, Adonai alone will be exalted.”
Isaiah 2:17 CJB
God will deal with all sins, including pride, but we should ask ourselves do we have pride in our hearts? When we look at Job we can see his pride was the fact that he thought he was a good guy! The only good thing in us is Yeshua, not ourselves!
“Yeshua said to him, Why are you calling Me good? No one is good except God!”
Mark 10:18 CJB
Remember, all good and perfect things are in and from God!
“Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father who made the heavenly lights; with him there is neither variation nor darkness caused by turning.”
James 1:17 CJB
So let’s not think so highly of ourselves, but instead let’s put all our hope in Yeshua!
Have a blessed day knowing that God is the only good thing in us!
