CAN GOD VOUCH FOR YOU: Devotion for Sunday March 13, 2016
Text: Job 1:6 – 12 Memory verse: v 8
Any Christian whose character God can’t vouch for is a deceit and candidate for hell. Before God can vouch for you as His son or daughter, you must have a constant fellowship/relationship with Him. He must see a desire for holiness and righteousness in your life. Such person is not just a churchgoer who doesn’t take God’s worship seriously. What we have in our text, is the story of how Satan came into the gathering of believers. His aim and target was Job. God knew him and all his thoughts and was quick to point it out to him. What does this omniscience nature of God teach us of God meeting our needs? Satan asserted that the blessings of God and hedge around Job are the reasons why he was a Christian (1:10 & 11). But God was quick to vouch for Job that he was a sincere Christian (1:8). He gave Satan the permission to touch his properties and not his soul (1:12) as a proof of what He knows about Job.
God confidently pointed out the allegiance of his servant Job. Satan’s response to God shows that he had scrutinized Job carefully. Do you know that Satan watches every moment of your life to find fault on how to accuse or attack you? Satan does this always against all Christians in order to find their weaknesses and turn them against God. However, in all these, can God vouch for you that you are not compromising, living in sin, pompous, etc? Search yourself now.
Food for Thought: What can God say today about your relationship with Him?
Prayer: Make me faithful servant that you can vouch for O Lord, my God.
