Character Matters
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. Job 1:1
If the Lord talked about us, what would He say? He spoke about Job repeatedly and mentioned with pleasure his character and behavior. We live in times when results are measured and the emphasis is on doing. However, we often overlook or neglect the ministry of being. Most Christian ministry takes place outside of the pulpit, and is carried on every day by simply living a godly life. By living in the fear of the Lord (Prov. 1:7) and turning from evil, we are serving God, pleasing Him by perfecting our character.

O, blessed is that man of whom some soul can say,
He was an inspiration along life’s toiling way.
