WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?

Today's reading: Job 29-30

"All who heard of me praised me. All who saw me spoke well of me." Job 29:11 NLT

These thousands of years later, we're still speaking highly of Job.

His choices, His responses. His faith.

Job himself speaks these words in regards to him self BEFORE the disasters began to occur. He says, in essence, You should have known me before!

God help us to be able to say the same.

May every trial leave us better, not bitter.

May every storm leave us soaked but sure.

May every long night leave us awakening to the brilliance of a new day--one others see us praising God in.

Our reputation among others matter. It's our calling cards for this Christian walk. How we are viewed by others will determine whether or not they allow us in to their lives to speak about Jesus.

Let is be said of us, All who hear of us praise us. All who see us speak well of us.
