God does not reject a blameless man Surely God does not reject a blameless man or strengthen the hands of evildoers. He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy. ( Job 8: 20,21) The Bible is full of wonderful examples of this great truth. Yes! God does not reject a blameless man. Be it Abraham or Joseph or Mordecai, he never rejects the blameless. Neither does he strengthen the hands of evildoers. They may succeed in their wickedness but only up to a time. Then God destroys them. Haman plotted evil against Mordecai, Esther and the Jews. But God fought for Mordecai because he was a blameless man. It's true that Mordecai, Esther and the Jews were on the brink of death but God foiled the plans of the evildoers. He filled the mouths of the innocent with laughter and their lips with shouts of joy . Abraham, when 99 years of age, was told by God to walk before him and be blameless. And what was the reward for such a walk. In Genesis 17: 2, we read, "And I will make my covenant between me and you and will multiply you exceedingly." Later God said, " No longer shall your name be called Abram (meaning exalted father) but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you father of many nations " (Genesis 17: 5) And look at Joseph's life - his brother's threw him into a pit, he was sold to the Ishmaelites , landed up in prison because of Potipher's wife's treachery. But he always remained faithful to God. And finally God blessed this blameless man with a great blessing. So it will be with you if you lead a blameless life. |
