Job 1-2

So I'm reading through the Wisdom Literature in the bible.
That consists of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. I just started today, and I am hoping to stay on track with my reading and get finished with these 5 books in 6 months. I am hoping to really meditate on each chapter as i read it.

Tonight I read Job 1-2
In these chapters Satan tells the Lord that Job will curse Him, but the Lord believes that Job is an outstanding guy and that he wouldn't. So the Lord gives Satan the power over Job as long as he doesn't harm his person. In chapter 1, Satan takes away all of Job's possesions. His children, his livestock, and everything else was taken. Did Job curse God and blame Him for it? NO! It says that "Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshipped. Job 1:20

----WOW! How many times can we as humans say that when something went wrong we fell on our faces and worshiped God? I know that I have seldomly done it. Normally our first reaction is to get mad...get mad at whoever is around us...or mainly at God.

In Chapter 2, the Lord gives Satan the power over Job's health. But He says that Satan must spare Job's life. Satan makes it so that Job has boils all over him and that probably means he was in a great deal of pain! Job's wife tells Job to curse God!!!! What a foolish woman! But did Job curse God with his lips? NO!!!

-I know that right now my walk with Christ isn't at all where it needs to be. I've really been putting God on the back burner. WAY in the back. I need to start living for Him again, because my life has really sucked since I've decided that i'm "comfortable"

I'm not called to be comfortable...i'm called to be uncomfortable

^^ Chew on that!
