Satan Attacks Job's Heart
Job is a blessed man.
Job lives righteously in the land
of Uz.
The Lord's praise of Job prompts
Satan the accuser to suggest that
Job served God simply because
the Lord protected Job.
The Lord removes Job's protection
and gives permission to Satan to
take Job's wealth , Job's children ,
and Job's physical health .
These are Job's heart's desire. But
the heart's desires is not Job's
heart . Job purpose in his heart
to love God with all his heart ,
with all his mind , with all his soul,
and with all his strength.
Despite Job's difficult circumstances ,
Job does not curse God.
Although Job anguishes over his
situation , Job stops short of accusing
God of injustice. Job's miserable
earthly condition is simply God's
will.
Job is suddenly beset with horrendous
disasters that stole away all Job hold
dear. It is to test Job's faith to God.
Job struggles to understand this
situation. Job reflects on his despair
but consistently remains faithful
to God.
Man is no match for the devil.. Satan
is powerful. Satan can easily defeat
man if man uses only his human
strength.
Job knows that the Lord is his
shepherd.
The Lord is Job's
Shepherd.
Job declares that
often as he shall
be exposed to danger ,
he will have sufficient
defense and protection
in being under
the care of the Lord, his
Shepherd.
The Lord leads us into
the path of righteousness
and the Lord leads us
on in the path
of righteousness. The
Lord leads. The
believers simply trust in
the Lord and follows
his Lord.
The Lord has armed the
believers to resist
fears which attack the
believers.
The believers are not
devoid of fears.
We are to overcome fear
wherever the Lord our
Shepherd would lead us.
I shall fear no evil.
Job's remedy against
fear is to trust
the Lord with all
his mind, with all
his heart, with all his
soul, and with all his
strength.
The enemy waits for an
opportunity to kill in the
valley of the shadow of
death. It is but a shadow
of death for Job. Job
has well practiced the steps
that the Lord has taught him.
The Lord leads. And Job
follows the Lord in the
path of righteousness for
the name sake of
the Lord.
The shadow of a giant
wild beast will not kill.
The shadow of a serpent
will not sting.
Christ has defeated death,
when he died for us on
the cross. Christ has paid the
price of redeeming us with
his precious blood. And God
has raised Christ from the
dead. And death is defeated.
To the sheep of Christ ,
death is only a shadow.
Christ has already conquer the
enemy, death. Death can not
sting the believer. God will
rebuke the enemy.
The Lord will guide us
with His rod ,
and sustain us with
His staff,
The coats of skins that God made for
Adam and Eve points to Christ.
Christ made us righteous
and acceptable to God.
As the result of their
disobedience, man lost his innocence and
experienced the knowledge of good and evil.
The knowledge of good and evil rejects God
as the Ruler .Man rejected God as the ruler .
So man was expelled from the garden of Eden.
God has given man a second chance to
come back to Him . The coat of skin point
Christ . God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son to whosoever
believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life.
Satan Took Away Job's Heart's Desires
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job;
and that man was perfect
and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels,
and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great
household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day;
and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that
Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and
offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said,
It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts .
Thus did Job continually.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present
themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence come you?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth,
and from walking up and down in it.
8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Have you considered my servant Job,
that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man,
one that fears God, and eschews evil?
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Does Job fear God for nought?
10 Have not you made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about
all that he has on every side? you have blessed the work of his
hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has,
and he will curse you to your face.
12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your power;
only upon himself put not forth your hand.
So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating
and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing,
and the asses feeding beside them:
15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea,
they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword;
and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said,
The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and has burned up the sheep, and the servants,
and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said,
The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried
them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword;
and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Your sons and your
daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners
of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and
they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave,
and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
(JOB:1-22)

The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea,
they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword;
and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
(JOB 1:13-15)
The devil slain Job's servants and killed Job's sons .
Satan is able to control people .Satan uses people to kill
Job's servants. Satan controls the wind and uses the
wind to kill Job's sons.
The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried
them away, yea, and slain the servants
with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
18 While he was yet speaking, there
also another, and said, Your sons and your
daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from
the wilderness, and smote the four corners
of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and
they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head,
and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
(JOB 1:17-20)

and Job's only chance for survival is to hide under
Christ's spirit.

that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man,
one that fears God, and eschews evil? and still he holds fast his integrity,
although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said,
Skin for skin, yea, all that a man has will he give for his life.
5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh,
and he will curse you to your face.
6 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; but save his life.
7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore
boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal;
and he sat down among the ashes.
9 Then said his wife unto him,
Do you still retain your integrity? curse God, and die.
10 But he said unto her,
You speak as one of the foolish women speaks.
What? shall
we receive good at the hand of God, and shall
we not receive evil?
In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
