Job 1:1 defines Job as a man "who was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and eschewed evil." The word perfect, often used in Scripture, usually means "spiritually mature." Job is called upright, which indicates that he was in fellowship with God. He is said to have feared God. In Scriptural parlance, this word demonstrates Job's trust in God, his preoccupation with God. He had faith in Him, and he rested in that faith. "And [he] eschewed [or turned away from] evil." Evil is negativity to God. Evil is the essence of Satan; whereas grace is the essence of God. Job turned away from evil. God knew Job's heart and knew he could be trusted with disaster. He had integrity before God, and God doubled His blessing on Job in the end. Main Idea?
