Would you let your child go through a series trial in life if you knew that they would eventually
come out of it healthier and stronger than than they were before? This was the situation that God
allowed in letting Satan have his way in tormenting God’s righteous man, Job.
In this remarkable book of the Bible, Job was allowed to suffer in numerous ways through disease,
death of family and the loss of all his possessions. While as God’s righteous and faithful man
he did NOT deserve to suffer, yet despite being alone, isolated and covered with
sores with all his friends telling him to blame God for his sufferings, Job never
'spoke falsehoods' or cursed God! Why?
Because he knew deep within his soul that God was with Him.
God allowed Satan to put Job to the test to see what Job would do with his affliction, yet all the while the
Lord knew that Job would come out victorious!! The end result was that after this test was over, Job was
blessed exceedingly more beyond what he had before!
Today in the midst of a world wide pandemic we too are being afflicted in a way similar to a sense
to what Job endured. Now the question is “How are you responding?” How all of us respond to
this - and what we think - is a test of our FAITH. This is not a time to give in or
accept defeat because we have a LIFE LINE, and that is the LORD God above!
Like the story of Job, we are all getting tested and this
evil Satanic virus is trying us all like a ping pong ball being tossed back and forth,
but don’t fall for the Devil’s evil tactics! Just like in the story of Job, there is ONE and only
GREAT POWER who is ALMIGHTY GOD!. No matter whether this virus ends or not,
put your trust and faith in God like Job did and watch how
God Will Show Up!!!
Remember, everything is this life is temporary and so likewise is this test, but let us all be like Job and
despite the trials, let us be faithful and Bless and Trust God.
