Job: Job 1 and 2

 Job: Job 1 and 2 by ric gustafson

There was a man who was healthy, wealthy and wise. We do not know where Job lived. Job was a real believer. Job was a true worshiper and blameless. Job was blessed by God.

One day, Satan comes to the Lord's Council Chamber. He is to give a report. He is asked what he has found. The Lord said have you considered my servant Job?". Satan is not impressed. He said take everything away he will curse you. Satan was told he could take away what he has but not touch him himself. 

In Job 1:13-22, everything is taken away from Job. His servants are killed. His sheep and shepherds are killed. His children die in a freak storm. In Job 2, Satan goes back to the Lord's Council Chamber. He is given permission to give Job physical suffering. Even his wife tells him to curse God and die. Even with all this agony, Job still praises God. His faith in God holds up. Praise God's name.
