Job 29:11-17
11 Whoever heard me spoke well of me,
and those who saw me commended me,
12 because I rescued the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to assist him.
13 The man who was dying blessed me;
I made the widow’s heart sing.
14 I put on righteousness as my clothing;
justice was my robe and my turban.
15 I was eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the needy;
I took up the case of the stranger.
17 I broke the fangs of the wicked
and snatched the victims from their teeth.
After much of Job’s life had been lived this is what he had to say about it. This was a man God called “blameless and upright”, obviously the type of guy you would want to listen to. To heed his words, and to live a life like his, and this is what he did. He rescued the poor and orphan, helped the widow, he was a father to the needy and the stranger, he confronted the wicked and saved the opressed. He was a man that used his great wealth and influence to fill every need he saw.
I have big dreams in my life. I want to be a CEO/President of a major corporation, and then go on to own my own companies (make lots of money
). But this is not all not for myself, but rather that when I, like Job, sit back and examine my life I could say that I filled every need that I came across, if in any way I could. That I could truly sit at the end of my life and see that I brought heaven’s kingdom to earth by filling the needs of the people that I came in contact with.
That is my heart goal, desire, and dream.
