Job 1: 9 Satan replied to the Lord, “Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. 10 You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! 11 But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!”

Verse 10 says that God had put up a wall to protect Job and his family. As Job lived for God and Glorified Him, we should do the same. Live as Job did. Protection is certain. Satan knows this, so beware of those who are deceptive.

Job 1 a profound glimpse into the spiritual realm

Job 2: 10 But Job replied, “You talk like a foolish woman. Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?” So in all this, Job said nothing wrong.

This is why there may be NO answers for suffering. It is God's will. Is it for us to ask God why? Or is it for us to thank Him for all we have and all He does?

Job 4: We have learned that even though we are sometimes the teacher, we can also be the student. We often get caught in the trap of helping others that we fail to realize we need help on occasion. Stop. Listen. God will fill your world with those who walk with Him. But be cautious, for the enemy can be deceiving.

Job 5: Eliphaz points out that God is great in so many ways. A fool will stumble. An evil schemer will be blocked from the execution of his plan, for God sees all and will thwart the enemies efforts.

Then we learn that God protects those who try to live righteous. As Eliphaz says, present your case to God. He will provide everything needed.

Somehow Job lost sight of this even for just a moment. But Job never cursed or blamed God. If I could be just a fraction of the man Job was, imagine how much better of a disciple i would be.

Where are you?

Job is a man wrestling with deep grief and heavy despair. He wonders if he has anything to look forward to or to live for… As he muses over his situation, his words are hard to understand.

Job 6: Job is angry because he feels he is being judged by his fellow man. He knows he can only be judged by the Father. Job stills fears God. Job also does not understand why he is still alive. Has nothing to live for. But still, never curses the Father. Nor does he deny the Word. Always keep the Faith.

Psalm 37: 16 It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich.

David is trying to tell us that when we walk with God, all of our needs are taken care of. If we would walk with the enemy, all plans will be halted and interrupted. Live through God. All glory to Him. He shall protect and prosper all who do.

Job 7: This chapter has a tough message. Not really sure i can interpret very well. Job is miserable. Pleads for mercy and death. Job asks God to forgive his sin and take away the guilt. All in all, Job complains but still does not curse God. Job wants his sin to be forgiven. What kind of a man, person, does it take to be physically and mentally worn down day after day, yet still asks to be forgiven? What kind of faith does it take? Could you be able to do as Job did?

Job 8: 13 The same happens to all who forget God. The hopes of the godless evaporate.
Several verses mention that without water, plants will not survive. Verse 13 shows us that without the word of God, we will not survive. Bildad explains to Job that Job needs to look at the good in his life. Not what has happened to him. Many times we take for granted the life we have and the life we live. We need to know what is important and live for God. For our Father will always take care of us. We just need faith.

Proverbs 15: I read this while I was sitting in the woods on Saturday admiring God's creations. 12 Mockers hate to be corrected, so they stay away from the wise. There are so many good verses it was hard to choose the one that stood out more than the others. Be hungry for knowledge. With knowledge, we can defeat the enemy soundly. And by reading the bible, you will be filled with the knowledge God wants for us. Along with prayer, reading will fill you up with joy and gladness.

Job 9: Job is telling us that no matter how hard we strive, we will never live up to God's standards. But isn't it worth trying? Even though I know I am not worthy, I know God loves me. So I will do my best to live righteously.

Job 10: 4 - Are your eyes like those of a human? Do you see things only as people see them?

I find this very interesting. We all know God sees all and knows all. Why would Job ask this? I do not have any answers for this.

Job 9-17
He would crush me with a storm and multiply my wounds for no reason.
Silence is usually golden but now Job continuing silence from God was a painful situation.
When God is silent and allows us to endure serious problems, he has a plan for our lives and we must hunger to trust in him.

Job 11: Job said his beliefs are pure and he is clean in the sight of God. It has been hard for earthly people to NOT complain about something. Job complained about what has happened to him even though he has not cursed God. So even if bad things happen, can we look at the good we have done or the good that has been done for us? Zophar told Job that the mysteries of life will never be understood. Can we stop God from doing what He does? Should we? I believe that what will happen, will happen. According to God's will. I want to look at what i have. If i don't have it, i don't need it. Life is precious. Look to love rather then anger. Look for joy rather than envy. Rejoice for God lives!!!

Job 12: Job tries to tell Zophar and the others that God has all the power. God see all and knows all. So who are we to judge others? Mock others? Be careful of your actions, for God can strip you of all things in an instant. Gain knowledge. Wisdom will follow. Live righteously, and you will prosper. Praise the Almighty Father. Because He loves us.

Job 13: Kind of hard for me to understand what Job is trying to say. Is he telling others that they are deceitful towards God? That he is no better than them but he has a God? One thing i am sure of, Job is not afraid to talk to God. Job realizes that God knows all and sees all. Still, Job does not curse God. Instead he asks God to forgive and take the heavy hand off him. Job will continue to do God's will. We should all be as faithful as Job. If so, where would the earth be?

Job 14: Seems like Job is asking why, with all the power God has, why does He allow bad things to happen? Why look for the sin rather than look for the righteous. Some people do not agree with me but i feel God tests us. To see if we are lukewarm. Job wants a simple Godly life. Yet he still does not curse God.

1 Peter 2 - 19 For God is pleased when, conscious of his will, you patiently endure unjust treatment. 20 Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you.

Now look at it from another perspective. You are the one handing out the unjust treatment. Why would you do that? Why would I do that? It is quite possible that your treatment of others, unconsciously, and something other than physical harm, is the same punishment written in 1 Peter. We may not mean to do it, but it happens. Snide comment, inappropriate gesture, rolling of eyes or just a mean look. Where is the love God tells us to have for each other? We really need to examine ourselves. For God blesses those who patiently endures unjust treatment. What does He do to those handing out the unjust treatment?

Job 15: How often do we think about the words we use? The looks we give? Our body language? All of this is from the enemy. When someone looks to us for wisdom and knowledge, how do you respond? Where did you get your knowledge? Your fellow man is looking for the words that come from the word, wise men from the past and those who are humbled by God and want to live for Him. We are not without sin. But those who confess their sin and ask for forgiveness, are those i want to talk with. I am hungry for knowledge. I also want to be humble enough that if i am asked for wisdom, God gives me the words. To God is the Glory.

Job 18: Bildad wrote this response to Job. I believe it is to have Job understand the ways of the wicked. And the consequences. Therefore asking Job to stop speaking ill.
