Job was a man who had lived in great affluence because he was richly blessed of God. But imagine the terrible words he said with his own mouth when he got into trouble! This is just like some folks; when they face a little challenge, they forget so quickly all the good things God has done for them. Not only do they wallow in self-pity, they also love to be pitied by everybody.
This is the attitude of the blamer in full manifestation. He loves to be pitied. He goes to people that will sympathize with him and feel sorry for him. He doesn’t have an intimate relationship with God. He doesn’t have a prayer life, neither is he consistent in church. He’s only for the fair weather, so his life is always up and down and trying to be revived.
On the other hand, the haver is a man of faith; he is the man with a righteous heart fixed on God and trusting in Him. He doesn’t accept defeat and doesn’t want to hear that it didn’t work. He doesn’t give consideration to anything aside God’s Word. He lives a consistent and persistent life and always has a confession on his lips.
Notice the blamer also confesses, but he speaks the wrong things. Job opened his mouth and cursed his day. The haver opens his mouth to bless his day. He is awakened to what God’s Word says and doesn’t give up until he sees it manifested in his life.
Hebrews 10:23 charges us to hold fast unto the profession of our faith without wavering, because He is faithful that promised. The profession of our faith requires that we control our mouths. This is why faith that possesses doesn’t speak carelessly. Child of God, no matter what the case may be, let the life you live be the life of faith, the life of the haver and not the blamer.
