Positioning Yourself for a Miracle, part 5

If God were in a conversation with satan, how would he describe you?  Yes, you.  How would God, in a few words, describe you to the devil?  Saved ... unsaved?  Righteous ... unrighteous? Positive speaking ... negative speaking?  Truthful ... liar?  Lover of God ... lover of the world?  Faithful ... unfaithful?  Trustworthy ...  untrustworthy? Good person ... bad person?  Committed ... uncommitted? Humble ... prideful?  Prayerful ... prayerless? Lover of God ... lover of self? Pure ... impure?  Patient ... impatient?  Giver ... hoarder?  Forgiving ... unforgiving?  Kind ... unkind? Knowledgeable ... ignorant?  Obedient ... disobedient? And of course, the list goes on.

Once, God was in a conversation with satan on two different occasions.  Both times, God described Job in the same manner (see Job 1:8, 2:3) -- blameless, upright, fears God, and shuns evil. In addition, the book of Job opens with this same description of him (see Job 1:1).  Not once, not twice, but three times God repeats to us and for us this description of Job -- blameless, upright, fears God, shuns evil.  Job's experience became the worst of the worse.  He lost everything including his 10 children, his health, and his wealth.  Job reached a place where he absolutely needed a miracle.  The good news is that Job was already positioned for that miracle, for God to do exceedingly, abundantly above all he could have asked or imagined (see Ephesians 3:20).  How so, you may be thinking?  According to God, Job went into his great loss as blameless, upright, feared God, and shunned evil.  Indeed Job was already positioned for a miracle?

Are you in such a position today?  What do you need to do to be in position for your needed miracle?
