Job

This is Job. He is a blessed man, as you can see by his numerous children and livestock. He loves and serves God wholeheartedly.


This is Job. He is a sad, wretched man. His children have all died, his livestock and servants are all gone, and now he has been stricken with boils. Even still, he blesses the name of the Lord, and will not blame God for his misfortune. Job 1:22..."The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord."

God visits Job, (in all his kingly regalia), and reminds him that no one else was there when God formed the earth, and that no one gives counsel to the Lord in all His wisdom. We are simply to trust and obey.

Because of his faith, God heals Job and restores to Job double all that he has lost!


(In case you can't understand the sweet, still voice of "God" talking, he says "Job, thank you for trusting me" as he removes from Job the boils)!
