A Man To Look Up To

People tend to look up to sports athletes and movie or music stars And there’s not anything wrong with that However they may mess up and let you down at some point But there’s one man from the Old Testament Who would be someone that you could look up to and his name is Job.
Now Job exemplified that he had great patience As he endured through five life changing events All brought on because Satan wanted to hear Job curse God And his friends didn’t help the situation either But Job kept his peace because he knew of his innocence.
Because of the patience that Job showed He earned every reward that the Lord blessed him with So the next time you are going through hardships Just look at them with patience instead of frustration And no telling what the Lord can do in your life.
