Job

This book of the Bible is about Job, a God fearing man who was righteous and wealthy. Job was born in Uz and was blameless and upright. He has seven sons and three daughters and had many sheep, oxen, and camels. He was the wealthiest and greatest man in the entire East.

One day Satan wanted to test Job to see how faithful he was, so God agreed and told Satan he may not lay a finger on Job himself. One day while Job was at his house, a messenger came and told him that many of his servants had been killed and thieves carried off his oxen and donkeys. Then another came and informed him that his sheep and servants were burned in a fire from the sky and his camels were swept off by raiders. Then the last messenger came and told him that while his sons and daughters were feasting a mighty wind came upon the house and it crashed upon them. Nevertheless, Job, being a God serving man, tore his robe and proclaimed “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord taken away, may the name of the Lord be praised” (Job 1:21) and in this. Job did not sin or tu


On another day, Satan came to God and said “Skin for skin! A man will give all he has for his own life…” (Job 1:2, 4) .So God agreed and told Satan he may do anything but take Jobs life. Therefore, Satan inflicted Job with sores and boils from his feet to his head. After seeing the sores, and the pain Job was going through, his wife pleaded with him to just curse God and die. Job replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” (Job 2:10). Therefore, Job did not sin, and did not turn his back on God.

Through this book of the Bible people can learn from Job and the way he handles hardships. We see that we should trust God, even in the midst of our suffering and to never question him. He is all-powerful and we cannot comprehend His plan for us at times, but in these times, we must be as Job, following God through to the end.

After Jobs visit with God the Lord, God commanded Jobs friends to sacrifice and pray over their faulty advice and ramblings they gave to His faithful servant. Then God blessed Job with more wealth than he ever had
