Scripture Union Daily Guide 16 October 2025 Outline
Job continued to defend his integrity, boldly subjecting himself to divine scrutiny. Although every aspect of life has the potential to tempt us, Job recalled other specific sources of temptations over which he was victorious. Go through the passage more carefully and identify at least five areas in which Job resisted temptations and refused to compromise. These are the things that gave him the boldness to present his case to God without any fear (Job 31:35-37). Job did not trust in or rely on worldly wealth (Job 31:24-25).
Remember his response to his losses in Job 1:20-21. How does his attitude to riches compare with what we see in contemporary times in which materialism and covetousness have crept even into the Church? Money has become the god that many who claim to be believers are serving (cf. Matthew 6:24).
Note his attitude to idol worship and occultism (Job 31:26,27) and his sensitivity to those in need (Job 31:31-32). In all these, he was in no way claiming to be sinless (Job 31:33-34). No wonder God testified to his uprightness and was proud of him. If Job had been aware of God’s testimony about him, he would not have been tempted to accuse Him of failing to answer his cry (Job 31:35). God hears us and cares. Trust Him.
