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) Satan attacks Job's heart. Satan took away all Job's heart's desires. Disasters fell on Job but Job sinned not. Job did not charged God foolishly. 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. (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) Job knows that Satan controls the physical world and Job's only chance for survival is to hide under Christ's spirit.

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. 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.

Job purposed in his heart that he would not defiled himself with the portion of man's wisdom, nor with the world's foolish ideas .
