Known for his patience, Job is a man whose character has been shaped by his relationship with God. In Job 27:5, Job gives us a glimpse of the standard he lives by when he answers a statement made by his friend, Bildad. Bildad has said that it is impossible for man to maintain righteousness. Job responds, “til I die I will not put away my integrity from me.” Job knows that a man’s character is shaped by the way he walks with God. Job responds to Bildad in chapter 26 by talking about the character of God. Job tells his friend that a relationship with God provides the strength and power that man needs to live in righteousness. Because God empowers His people to be righteous, Job can make a vow to maintain his integrity. Job knows the one truth that is needed to live in a healthy relationship with God. That one truth is that God must stand in the center of a person’s life. God’s will is the standard by which we live. God’s power is the strength in which we stand. God’s promise is the assurance that we can live as God calls us to live. Embedding the Bible is a tool that helps us keep God at the center of our lives.
