I believe Job was a man of great faith I believe God had used him as an example for us to understand that when we are facing afflections we must hold on to our faith and believe that God will take you out of them all In the end because of Job s faith he came out trimphant The bible said that God blessed him even more than he was blessed before
"Sir I'm sorry you can't read 4th grade English. " I THE LORD HAVE DECEIVED THAT PROPHET,"( Ezekiel 14:9). I agreed you made a good point. If you will read ( I doubt it) let these Scriptures (KJB) flip your wig, and pray about this about 10 years. ( 2 Sam 24:1) And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. ( 1 Chr 21:1) Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. Now you know the Bible doesn't contradict. ( Job 1:12) And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in THY POWER; now look at ( Job 2:3) "and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou MOVEDST ME against him, to destroy him without cause." You want a hint to the answer? The LORD's axe is sharpened on the Devil's grindstone ~Havner. "
Job definetly was a GOD fearing man. He was determined that nothing or no one was gonna change his mind about GOD. No matter what he had to endure, he was gonna do depending and yet trusting GOD. "NO BETTER WAY TO DO IT" That's unconditional love that is being shown.
I am deeply overwhelmed at the depth of internal and external self conrol, knowledge and trust in God exhibited by Job.He held the things of this life with loose hands, non of his achiements or accomplishments competed with his pursuit for heaven. Such a relationship/heart of single mindedness should be the desire of all christians.
Perhaps one of the most precarious references in the Bible, along side of Job 2:10 and some others. Thankfully Jesus makes it clear about someone who "comes...hears...and does these sayings" (Precepts?), digs deep and lays a foundation that supports the dwelling which will never falter.
mantenerse integro ante cualquier situacion es de siervos de DIOS en la mayoria de los casos los seres humanos le reprocan a dios lo que estan pasando en ese momento pero no se ponen a meditar que quizas DIOS les esta permitiendo pasar eso para probarles porque les quiere llevar a otro nivel en sus vidas cuando entendemos que en medio de todo devemos agradecer y glorificar a DIOS se desata la bendicion sobre nuestras vidas.
This poses a challenge on me that if satan is doing God's will why then am I not doing it? God told satan what to do with Job and he went to do just that and nothing more! Also Job truly understood God's Supremacy, because in tough times we tend to rebuke & bind things which God has permitted, therefore speaking against our Creator.
God knew that Job was not serving Him for gain, but out of love, and that's the difference, today, we want to serve God because He blesses us, but Job teaches us to trust God not only in time of plenty or riches but in proverty and sickness. Because no matter what our situation or possession God will never leave us or forsake us and I think Job knew that
Job brings me to the realization that there is nothing our God can't do. Job made the decision to serve God through all these trials. God alone brought him through. How great is our God!
Each and everyday I pray that we who profess to be Christians would have the Faith that Job had when it comes to our believing that God will heal us spiritually, mentally, physically and financially. He is a man of his word, and Job knew that.
In other versions of the Bible, it says, when Job's wife came to him and told him to curse God and die, yes they also say , " you sound like a foolish woman", but they also say Job replied, "get behind me satan". .???
This has so many reminders to me:
1. The devil must go through God for everything he's allowed to bestow upon man; and
2. God doesn't give us more than we may bare.
Job; reminds us that our faith in God is more important than the things we have. problem is can he trust us to prove that point ?,todays christians are too materialistic.as for me my salvation is most important,and God allways best.Remember Matt. 6:19 -34
how far can your faith go?after all the losts and pain he went through he mentain his faith,the same way Apostle Paul after all that he also went through remained faithful and recommended us to fight the good fight of faith.what can a man give in an exchange for his own soul beside the life of JESUS
God knew that Satan could put an end to Job's life thereby actually putting an end to his faith in Him, so He allowed Satan to test Job to a point where weaker men would have given up, Instead Satan had to give up. I think this is a perfect example for us today, we just have to hold on to Our Lord because He holds on to us as long as we have faith.
i am move to a point of joy that God can look at man and feel proud of him and i now come to a good understanding that there are levels of achievement that men can espire to that can bring even out of God a since of pride for he said that Job had not lost his integrity
Job is an inspiration to me. My life is good compared to what he went through. I am blessed, I thank Jesus for my salvation, my family, and my church!! Happy Independence Day everyone!!! :)
all of u please pray for me to not lose faith but to become stronger in th word and for me to be guided through anything bad that comes my way i will also pray for u all and god bless u all
We will never know how strong our faith is in our Almighty God if He doesn't allow our faith to be tested. Job faith was just right for a miracle and now we are blessed because of Job's faith. We all will be tested at some point or the other; but you must understand that our All knowing God will not allow no more to come upon you than what you can withstand. Let us all hold fast to our faith in our All Powerful God and He will bring you through. I have been through some things that I knew there were no way possible for me to survive if I didn’t trust God for His Holy word; because I kept faith my end results was far greater than the beginning. Always remember that you can go through whatever comes your way if you have strong faith in our Holy God. Read Proverb 3:5-7 & Roman 8:28.
