WHAT WILL SAVE ME
Today's reading: Job 13-14

"But this is what will save me: that I am not godless. If I were, I would be thrown from his presence." Job 13:16 NLT

Job knew what he had done, and not done, regardless of what his friends advised.

He knew that despite the tragic circumstances, he had not wandered from his faith, turned his back on God or failed to believe in the power of the Mighty One.

He also knew, as he sat penniless, family-less, might-as-well-have-been-friendless and sore, that nothing but God would ever save him.

Is that our assurance?

Are we trusting in our church attendance?

Are we believing in our heritage?

Are we banking on our jobs/paychecks/saving accounts?

Are we depending on our health?

Are we resting comfortably on our skills or talents or abilities?

Just ask Job, when you get to heaven, none of those things matter.

It's all hinging on whether or not you know God intimately.

God is Who will save you.
