Is God proud of you?
I remembered how proud I was when my
eldest daughter graduated from University. I was filled with joy, sharing with family and friends. I'm sure my parents were also proud when they
came to celebrate my graduation so many years ago.
As a parent, you love your child(ren)
unconditionally, however there is something different about being proud of what
they are in character .
I could imagine the pride in the heart
of Yahweh when He was showing off Job, “Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you
considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a
blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?”” Job 1:8 NKJV.
This of course led to a season of testing for Job. He lost everything. Many of
us would not want to be tested like he was. But this message is not about his
test but the pride Yahweh had in him.
What a precious and priceless
commendation - none like him, blameless, upright, fears God and shun evil. As
such he had the hedge of Elohim around him, around his household, and around
all that he had on every side. Yahweh blessed the work of his hands, his
possessions increased in the land (Job 1:10 NKJV).
How about you? If Elohim were to write
you a letter of commendation what would it say? A commendation from Elohim is greater than the Queen of England's OBE, CBE or Knighthood. It sets you for greatness here on earth and eternity in Heaven.
