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

Environmental Stewardship
These are Job's final words before God eventually answered Him out of a storm. Interestingly, his conclusion is about how environmentally conscious he was. Job didn't bleed his land dry of its resources.
I'm sure Job allowed his land to go fallow from time to time, to have its own sabbatical and not to be over cultivated. We can hope that he allowed poor people to glean in his fields. Even though these are Jewish principles and Job lived long before the creation of the nation of Israel, he was a God-fearing man and knew in his heart what pleased God, what was right and wrong.
It seems that Job rented his land out. He asserts here that he did so fairly. He didn't rip people off in the rents he demanded from them.
Job knew that if he wasn't a responsible landowner, he wouldn't deserve to be so prosperous. He saw himself as what we all are; stewards of all that God entrusts us with. May we likewise serve God well and gladly!
'Dear Lord, may we be responsible in Your service and rejoice at our privilege to do so. To the praise of Your glorious grace, we pray, amen.'
Are you environmentally responsible? Or are you complacent about your need to steward your resources well?
