Satan ATTACKED ALL THAT JOB POSSESSED, four servants ran to Job to tell him, one after another; “the oxen were plowing the Sabeans attacked us and carried the animals off. Lightning from the sky struck the sheep and killed them The Chaldeans attacked your camels and carried them off, the house fell down on your children. Now all of them are dead.” “After Job heard all of those reports, he got up and tore his robe. He shaved his head. Then Job FELL TO THE GROUND AND WORSHIPED THE LORD. He said, “I was born naked. And I’ll leave here naked. You have given, and you have taken away. MAY YOUR NAME BE PRAISED.” In spite of everything, Job DIDN’T SIN BY BLAMING GOD for doing anything wrong.” (Job 1:20-22)
Job’s wife said to him, “Are you still trying to be godly when God has done all this to you? CURSE GOD AND DIE. Job replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. WE ACCEPT GOOD THINGS FROM GOD. So, we should also ACCEPT TROUBLE WHEN HE SENDS IT.” In spite of everything, Job DIDN’T SAY anything that was sinful.” (Job 2:9-10) “The LORD BLESSED THE LAST PART OF JOB’S LIFE even more than the first part. He gave Job 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels. He gave him 1,000 pairs of oxen and 1,000 donkeys. Job also had seven sons and three daughters.” (Job 42:12-13) God takes care of us WHEN WE TRUST HIM!!!
“Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GOD‘s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He’s the one who will keep you on track.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) We do this because God says, “…my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord, the heavens are higher than the earth. And my ways are higher than your ways. My thoughts are higher than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9)
SO, GOD SAYS, LET ME ORDER YOUR STEPS…
