Job 1-4
So we begin the story of one of
the greatest men to ever live, Job, the great patriarch and ancient of
days. All humans find comfort in the
book Job because it deals with one of the greatest mysteries of faith; if God
is all loving, compassionate and powerful why do good people suffer? The answer?
We don’t know!
But a cosmic wrinkle occurs that
may give us a clue. It’s found in
Job 1:8, “And the Lord said to Satan, ‘Have you considered My servant Job? For
there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man fearing God
and turning away from evil.’” Did
you catch that? God brought Job to
Satan’s attention. What? Why would He do that? Who wants God to point us out to Satan
as an example of righteousness?
The point? God trusted Job. God trusted him to act blameless and
upright no matter what may come!
I wonder if God trusts me?
