Job

Reading now in the book of Job,

one of the oldest books in the Bible.

It's a comfort to know that God

was the one who dictated what satan

could and could not do to Job.

It is God who called Job a righteous man. 

God's ever watchful eye was on Job.

Allowing just the right amount of suffering.

He sure did trust Job with a lot!

Job's friends, miserable comforters though they were,

came with good intentions to comfort and cry with him.

But they soon found the need to blame Job for his

suffering ... to pry his sin out of him.

Even his wife finally announced, 

"Job, just curse God and die."  Whoa
