Scripture: Job 1:13-22
“All right, you may test him, the Lord said to Satan. Do whatever
you want with everything he possesses, but don’t harm him
physically so Satan left the presence of God. Job 1:12 NLT
God will always prove the integrity, the love and faithfulness of every believer. Unfortunately when test and trials come our way as believers we do not always see them as opportunities for lifting. God will never thrust our lives in the hands of the enemy. With the loss of his possessions, Job’s love for God was tested. Notice what God said (Job 1:12… do whatever you want with everything he possess, but don’t harm him physically. We must learn not to disappoint God by been so attached to our Possessions.
The first test Job had to go through to prove his true state of heart was the test of losing all he possessed on earth. And this test with his possession was permitted by God. But instead of Job blaming God and cursing God he (Job 1:20) “then job arose and rent his mantle and shaved his head and fell down upon the ground and worshipped.” Job is a perfect example of a conqueror’s mentality. Instead of giving up after he lost everything, he worshipped.
Job 1:22…. In all of this, Job did not sin by blaming God (NLT). Don’t blame God in case of any misfortune instead; worship him. Every test will bring to manifestation the testimonies of your integrity, if your heart is right like Job’s.
PRAYERS: Lord when my integrity is tested, like Job, help me to overcome.
FAITH BYTE: I glory in tribulations, knowing that God will not allow me to be tempted beyond all I can bear.
