Job 1
Prologue
1 There once was a man named Job who lived in the land of Uz. He was blameless—a man of complete integrity. He feared God and stayed away from evil. 2 He had seven sons and three daughters. 3 He owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 teams of oxen, and 500 female donkeys. He also had many servants. He was, in fact, the richest person in that entire area.
4 Job’s sons would take turns preparing feasts in their homes, and they would also invite their three sisters to celebrate with them. 5 When these celebrations ended—sometimes after several days—Job would purify his children. He would get up early in the morning and offer a burnt offering for each of them. For Job said to himself, “Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.
Job’s First Test
6 One day the members of the heavenly court[a] came to present themselves before the Lord, and the Accuser, Satan,[b] came with them. 7 “Where have you come from?” the Lord asked Satan.
Satan answered the Lord, “I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything that’s going on.”
8 Then the Lord asked Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil.”
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!”
12 “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 Lord’s presence.
13 One day when Job’s sons and daughters were feasting at the oldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger arrived at Job’s home with this news: “Your oxen were plowing, with the donkeys feeding beside them, 15 when the Sabeans raided us. They stole all the animals and killed all the farmhands. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.”
16 While he was still speaking, another messenger arrived with this news: “The fire of God has fallen from heaven and burned up your sheep and all the shepherds. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.”
Shalom, Paul. Happy prep day. Regarding Job, does anybody else notice the disconnect or distance of Job to his family? For all of his childrens’ feasts, he is not present. And the geography seems distant as well.
Anyway, be blessed. Shalom.
Shalom, good morning. Wow very strong passages. The meme that you mentioned about, when I heard of it, I had to pause the video because it made me think. It also convicted me. How I have been so near sighted not seeing what was more important.
Always praise YHWY, especially during sufferings and in our darkest hours. All these things must pass. Yahushua Hamashiach suffered, those that walk in his steps may as well suffer too. It is a sign and testimony of the fellowship. Amen HalleluYah !
Thank you YHWY for having Brother Paul start in our of daily readings. YHWY bless you, Paul in his sons name Yahushua Hamashiach. Amen.
I have been though a lot in my life since birth and the more trials I go though the more he refines me and I keep my eyes on him.
Shalom, Paul! Shalom, saints!
