Bible Note: Thank you for your response: The book of Job is a wonderful statement of faith isn’t it? Praise the Lord. “Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil.” A good man believing in the power of God! Job 1:3 His possessions also were 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and very many servants; and that man was the greatest of all the men of the east. A wealthy man graced by God. Job 1:5 When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, "Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did continually. A repentant sinner Job 1:8 And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who [reverently] fears God and abstains from and shuns evil [because it is wrong]? The debate between God and Satan Job 1:10 "Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. Recognition by Satan of Gods grace which made Job a wealthy man and challenge of Jobs obedience for God Job 1:12 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him." So Satan departed from the presence of the LORD. God accepts the challenge and gives Satan authority over Jobs possessions. Job 1:16 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you." Satan’s wrath and consumption of Jobs material wealth, notice how the servant blames God for the fire. Job 1:19 and behold, a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people and they died, and I alone have escaped to tell you." A second example of Satan’s power over earthly elements Job 1:21 And said, Naked (without possessions) came I [into this world] from my mother's womb, and naked (without possessions) shall I depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed (praised and magnified in worship) be the name of the Lord! What an amazing statement of faith. And don’t forget were talking pre covenant here. Point is Job was not punished for his wealth; he was wealthy because God gave it to him. Satan was sure Job worshiped because he was wealthy. Is it easier to worship God if you can afford it? Clearly Job passed the test; he worshiped despite Satan striping him of all his earthly possessions. Wealth is not mutually exclusive of faith; faith therefore is not mutually exclusive of wealth. May we be guided on the path of obedience by our sprits and souls through the blood of Jesus thanks be to God for all of his blessings. |
