Amory Waters---JOB's character and wealth
JOB's character and wealth........................ JobSays God will Deal with the Wicked........................................
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job, and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from Evil. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. And the lord said to Satan, from where do you come? Then Satan answered the Lord and said, From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it" And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered My servant Job? "For there is no one like him on the earth. a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil" Then Satan answered the Lord, "Does Job fear God for nothing?" Hast Thou not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands and his possessions have increased in the land; But put forth Thy hand now and touch all that he has; he will surely curse Thee to Thy face" Then the Lord said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him" So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord.
Saten allowed to test Job:
The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you" and many more things happened to Job...Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshiped. And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked I shall return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God..
