1 Then Job replied to the Lord: 2 “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you. — Job 42:1,2 NLT
We are all familiar with Job’s story and all the things he had suffered at the hands of satan. God had allowed this to happen even though God considered Job a righteous man. Remember that God pointed Job out to satan and asked him “have you considered my servant Job?” Reading through the book of Job brings up a lot of questions. It also shows us that sometimes good friends can give us some bad advice. God wasn’t happy about the advice Job’s three friends had given him. It is good to get advice from Godly people, but sometimes God wants to speak to us directly and wants us to lean on Him and Him alone. There are mysteries that only He can solve and situations that only He understands. There are lessons that only God can teach us. God considered Job a righteous man but that doesn’t mean that Job didn’t sin. After all, there has only been one perfect man to ever walk this earth. Perhaps Job sinned in that he was always the one that offered sacrifices after the lengthy parties that his sons threw at their homes. Job1:1-5 We are not told whether or not he taught this practice to his kids, only that he always did it for them. Which begs the question. are we actively teaching our kids how to walk with integrity before God? Are we praying with them or just praying for them? When situations arise, are we doing all the praying and sacrificing or are we teaching them that the whole family prays, ask for God’s forgiveness and sacrifices together?
