1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil. 2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. 3 He
possessed 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, and 500 female
donkeys, and very many servants, so that this man was the greatest of
all the people of the east. 4 His
sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one on his day,
and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with
them. 5 And when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send and consecrate them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed[a] God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually.
Lord, accept our prayers for our families especially our children that we will pray for them to increase in their relationship with you.
