Standing strong in the storm

Two times in the book's first chapter, Job is described as “blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil” (Job 1:1, 8). Let’s pause to consider this significant statement. Since we all have sinned and fall short of God’s holy standard, Job was not “blameless and upright” due to inherent goodness. There was a time in his life when God opened his eyes to the truth of the good news.
