Job

In all these Job did not sin against God

Job lost his servants, livestock, and children in few hours and affected by a terrible skin disease. He was a very rich, godly and blameless person. The entire society respected him. In the midst of all these calamities Job did not murmur or sin against God. Even his wife asked him to deny God but Job had a great devotion for God.

Hedge of protection

God put a hedge of protection around Job and his entire household. Even his enemies might have longed for his livestock, but they could not do anything to Job since job was covered by God’s protection.

Satan is a creature

People take Satan opposite to God. I would agree with CS Lewis where Michael the Archangel is opposite to Satan. Satan is only God’s creation and even he required permission from God to trouble Job.

Trust God in the midst of all the sufferings

In the middle of the immense pain and suffering Job trusted in God and proclaimed my redeemer lives! As corrie Ten Boom said when a train passes through the tunnel its dark in the train but no one jump from the train because it’s dark. They Trust the pilot. Though suffering brings pain – trust God. One day this pain will too pass.
