Message
God knows and has the correct information about everyone. From our text, we read about the testimony He gave about Job. His testimony was that Job was a perfect and an honest man that feared Him and hated evil. What is God’s testimony about you? God’s testimony about you is more important than any other testimony from anyone. Live your life to please Him and make up your mind to do all He wants you to do. He watches and knows everything that you do. He expects you not to repay evil with evil but to forgive those that offend you. He wants you to daily overcome temptations and keep loving Him.
Do your parents and teachers complain about your bad behaviours? God is willing to change you and give you a new life if you would repent. What type of testimony do you want God to give about you at the end of life? Would the life you live now qualify you for punishment or reward? Give your best for God, make use of opportunities you have to tell sinners to repent. At the end, God’s testimony about you will also be a good one.

Prayer for today: Dear Father, I give my heart to you, change me and help me to live every day to please you.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
