Job Chapter 31. Am I really Blameless?
Job maintains his innocence. He says if I was guilty in any way, then I would deserve God's wrath. But I am innocent. I have not lusted for another woman. I seek Justice for all people. I have taken care of the poor, the widow, the orphan, the needy. I have not let money become my god. I've taken care of the homeless.
Job is innocent before God but I can understand how the so-called comforters would make accusations against him because I struggle with sin areas. I have weaknesses so it would be hard for me to believe Job doesn't struggle by giving into temptations. Sometimes it's easy to make accusations against innocent people because of envy for their righteousness. Sometimes we feel better about ourselves when we are able to tear another person down, especially in hopes of making ourselves look better.
God, please help me to be honest with my sins and to walk faithfully with you! Forgive me where I have failed.
While Job was innocent of the things that he was being accused of, I couldn’t help but think of the fact that we are all sinners in some way as we see in the third chapter of Romans.
Here is what we read in Romans 3:10-12
“As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”
