Job

Recently have been reading the Book of Job, although i'm still in the progress but it able to leave some significant thoughts. In the 1st chapter it recorded that Satan came challenge God about testing His most upright man at the moment, Job. Something strike me is Job 1:12 and 2:6, that the Lord gave permission for Satan to put suffering on Job's everything he owns from livestock to his house and even his 10 children. Lastly, when 1st attempt failed, his body became the next target afflicted by ulcer.

Both the verses i mentioned give assurance that our life are taken care by Him. All the more, Satan has no authority over us, he has to ask God before do what he wish on man of God. Though we are not in control of uncertainties that may happen yet we can rely on Him to endure all the hardships. For instance, i used to procrastinate when given something new to do, mainly because of clueless in starting a task. I prayed and due to time constraints in the end, i took my 1st step and surprisingly, things turn out easier than i could imagine.

In the same book, i also uncover that God will not give us bear anything beyond what we can (1 Corinthians 10:13), what Job received may be severely destructive if exercise on us, so He knows everyone clearly and the extend of our limits. What may seems impossible will make feasible by Him who give us strength and guidance. Just want to encourage everyone not to give up and seek Him in times of trouble. And He will lead you through :D Have a blessed day~
