Brianna's comment on 2014-01-28 09:58:27:

Job was certaily a good servant of Jehovah God. He learned to be a good father from his heavenly father Jehovah. Job would wake up every morning and make sacrafices in behalf of his family, so that they could be guitless before God. A good example for fathers today to be proactive in the spiritual upbringing of children! If I ever have kids I will remember the example of Job, and try to be a good mother and raise them to be faithful servants of Jehovah with a happy life.

It is Job's way of life to make sure they are guiltless in the sense that after any of their merry occasions, Job would make a burnt offering the next morning according to their numbers should they have gone contrary to the will of God in anyway which is likely in their thoughts.
