Scripture:
“In spite of everything, Job did not sin or accuse God of doing wrong.” Job 1:22 CEV
Observation:
God had spoken to Satan about Job being a righteous person. Satan said he was righteous because God had a hedge around Job’s family. God gave permission for Satan to touch anything Job had, but not himself. In a single day, he lost his children, his livestock, his fields, and much more. At the end of the day, he worshiped God and did not sin or accuse God of doing wrong.
Application:
We should take a lesson from Job when it comes to bad things happening in our lives. He knew better than to accuse God of doing wrong. He knew who his enemy was… and it wasn’t the Lord God Almighty. He was upset. He cried. He lamented. He despised the day of his birth, but he didn’t accuse God. We must learn to be careful what we attribute to God. Satan in our enemy and he brings death and destruction. Jesus came to give us life and abundant life. We must never accuse God when things go wrong in our lives.
Prayer:
Lord, forgive me for times I have accused You of not taking good care of me. Forgive me for the times when I have questioned Your love and You goodness because things were not going well in my life. Help. Me to understand better and live out a life that bring Your praise and realizes that good and bad happen, but the Lord is always good.You are awesome, no matter what I am personally walking through.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
