Who's da man as far as the bible goes? I know there are several canidates, but my choice for da man has got to be.........drum roll......JOB!!!!!!
Just look at the opening verse of Job
In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.
BLAMELESS?!?!? and UPRIGHT!?!?!?! HOLY COW!!!!
do you know hard that is to pull off? in any time era?
in Job 1:18-19 all of Job's children are killed,his livestock stolen, and almost all his servants are killed and read how he reacts?!?!
20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship 21 and said:
"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and I will depart. [c]
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised."
HE PRAISED THE LORD
wowzers
all through that book job is a remarkable being but as man i find one verse especially amazing
Job 31:9-10
"If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
or if I have lurked at my neighbor's door,
10 then may my wife grind another man's grain,
and may other men sleep with her.
WOAH HOA!!
That's a biggun, do you know why Job said that? because he knew he had nothing to fear,that he had kept his heart pure,he said that to GOD
I find a huge encouragement in job, know why?
He was just a man, an average joe(well job) and he did this, that means God willing one day i can live as job did, blameless and bold, guilt free
