READ-MORE |
The book of Job was probably written by Moses before the book of Genesis, making it the oldest book in the Bible. It tells the trials of Job, "perfect and upright, one that feared God, and eschewed evil." The first specific behavior mentioned of Job was that he made intercession for his children every day. Therefore, the first godly behavior ever identified in the Bible was INTERCESSION for children!
Job 1:5 "Job ...rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings ...for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts."

PRINCIPLES - "God Will Let Satan Take All You Have"
Satan ("the adversary") stood before God, after walking to and fro in the earth. God asked, "Have you considered my servant Job? that there is none like him in the earth, ...perfect, ...upright, ...fears God, ...hates evil?" Satan snapped, "He does not serve you without reasons." He contended that Job would curse God to His face without His protection and benefits. God let Satan take everything from Job to prove him wrong.
Job 1:12 - "The LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand."
PROPHECIES - "God Knew Job Would Not Curse Him"
Satan had a license to kill. He killed Job's cattlemen, his shepherds, his camel tenders. He stole his oxen, asses, and
camels, and killed his sheep. He killed Job's seven sons and three daughters.
Job 1:20-22 - "Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly."
