10/10/13 Job 8:6 God Has Made You Righteous and You are Pure and Upright

Job 8:6 (NAS)

If you are pure and upright, Surely now He would rouse Himself for you And restore your righteous estate.

Job 8:6 (NIVUS)

if you are pure and upright, even now he will rouse himself on your behalf and restore you to your rightful place.

 
Although you were a sinner and covered in darkness, you have been cleansed and made pure.  You are now transparent and innocent.  Your path was crooked, but now you are traveling on a straight road.  You are righteous and well pleasing to Adonai, the Most High God.  He esteems you highly.
 
Others may think that God is asleep, since He does not seem to hear their prayers.  However, for you, He opens His eyes.  He awakens Himself to lift you up.
 
The Lord your God satisfies you with a lovely home, a residence where you dwell in rest. There He blesses you with prosperity and safety. He makes everything good for you and fills up what is lacking.  In Him, you have perfect peace.  He always restores you and rewards your faith.
