Job 1:5

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Job 1:5. And rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their heart. Thus did Job continually.

He thought, "Perhaps, in their rejoicing, unholy thoughts may have intruded; they may have been unguarded and lax in their conduct. They may not have fallen into my cross sin; but, in their feasting, they may have sinned against God, therefore I will offer sacrifices for them." "Thus did Job continually." Not only occasionally, but every day, he sacrificed upon his altar unto God, and so sought to keep his household right before Jehovah.
