An Exemplary Man Who Accepted Correction

Concerned About Family Spirituality

At times, Job's sons arranged banquets at which all his sons and daughters were present.  After these banquet days had passed, Job was very concerned  lest his children had sinned against Jehovah is some way.  So Job took action, for the Scriptural  account states:  "It would occur that when the banquet  days had gone round the circuit, Job would send and sanctify them; and he got up early in the morning and offered up burnt sacrifices according to  the number of all of them; for, said Job, 'maybe my sons have sinned and have cursed God in their heart.' " (Job 1:4, 5) How this must have impressed upon Job's family members his concern that  they have reverential fear of Jehovah and walk in His ways!

Today, Christians family heads need to instruct their families in God's Word, the Bible.  (1 Timothy 5:89)  And it is surely fitting to pray for family members. -Romans 12:12.
