The 'Job 31' Man: Being a Man of Integrity in a Sinful WorldVoorbeeld

### Justice Job wasn't simply some individualistic person with little care for others. As an employer, he knew he must be fair to his employees. He was a responsible boss to his servants. If we are or want to become employers, what are our standards going to be? To make as much money as possible? Or to be as ethical and equitable as possible? Job might have been a successful businessman, but he didn't let that blind him to his employees' need for justice. He didn't have a superiority complex. He knew that all are equal before the God who created us and to whom we must give account. It's good to have a perspective of what is beyond the present. It's good to remember where we all come from: naked in our mother's wombs. It's also good to remember where we're all heading: the grave. The question is, how do we live now to honour God and to treat our fellow human beings with equity and kindness? 'Lord, please help those of us who are employers to manage our employees well. And may we who work for others do so diligently, for the honour of Your name, amen.' Are you an employer? Do you treat everyone the same?
