Weathers Life

Tuesday, April 18, 2006

The book of Job is about a man named Job that is tested by the lord. It first starts of by descibing this man, he lives in a town called Uz. Were he has 7 sons and 3 daughters. He owns 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 oxen and 500 female donkeys. He is the richest man in all the land. So you can see just from the short description that he has alot riding on his life, and if anything was to be taken away he would know and be crushed by it. So one day satan and God were hanging out and God said
have you noticed a great man named Job, he is blameless -a man of complete integrity.
Then satan answered
Oh yes, you have supplied him with everything he has, his money, his animals, and his 10 loved children, but I'm sure if this was to be all taken away he would surely curse to your name.
God replied,
ok have your way with him, do what ever you want with him just don't hurt him personally.
So the next day satan sent men to go to his house. The first man reported that his oxen were killed by a Sabean raid, the second man said his sheep were burned up from the fire of God, the third man said his camels were killed by three bands of Chaldean riders, and the final man said that a powerful wind blew over one of his son's house when all his children were in the building having dinner and they all died. After all this he tore his robe and cried,

I came naked from my mother's womb,
and I will be naked when I leave.
The Lord gave me what I had,
and the Lord has taken it away.
Praise the name of the Lord!


So the next time you think you have nothing and everything is going wrong still think of all the stuff you are blessed with, don't wate untill you actually do have nothing.
